Whoopi is heading back to Broadway...
That Tony Awards hosting gig last month musta given Whoopi Goldberg the Broadway bug again.
Whoopi said this morning on "The View" that she is going to be spending her month off from the morning chatfest in August as a cast member of the musical "Xanadu."
"I always wanrt to be on a stage somewhere and I wanted something fun," Whoopi said. "If I have vacation, it's dangerous."
Whoopi's role in the roller-skating musical "Xanadu" is as one of the show's evil sisters, Caliope. Her previous Broadway stints were her own one-woman show as well as in revivals of "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom."
She begins her six-week "Xanadu" run on July 29.

Greg,
And you fail to note that she is giving the wonderful Jackie Hoffman a little break! Was it a FORCED break? Just wondering.
(Also, the changes to the site over the last year have been superb.)
