If you are wondering if you should go see Whoopi Goldberg at Treasure Island, here is one acronym that should answer that: EGOT. Whoopi is one of only 12 people to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony in competitive categories. If you are wondering if that means anything in the grand scheme of things, here are three of her peers in that illustrious group of 12: Audrey Hepburn, Mel Brooks and Mike Nichols.
These are colossal talents that have left their marks on every field of entertainment they have trekked through. So whether your favorite moments from Goldberg are from her days as a heavyweight movie star in films like Jumping Jack Flash and The Color Purple or whether you first glimpsed her edgy, incredible, character-driven one-woman show on Broadway back in the day, go see her. Whether you love her stand-up or think she is the only voice of reason on The View, go see her. She is part stand-up comedian and part storyteller. But most of all she is someone you want to spend an evening with.
Treasure Island, 9 p.m. Nov. 11, starting at $69.95 plus tax and fee, 18+. 702.894.7722
