George Street Playhouse will present Joy Behar in her own “My First Ex-Husband,” Aug. 28.
George Street Playhouse will present Joy Behar in her own show “My First Ex-Husband” — a series of monologues described as “a bold and heartfelt adaptation of true stories (exploring) the messy, hilarious truths of love, sex, and relationships” — Aug. 28 at 3 and 7:30 p.m. at The New Brunswick Performing Arts Center.
Veanne Cox and Sherri Shepherd — the latter, Behar’s former co-host on the daytime television talk show “The View” — will co-star.

“My First Ex-Husband” debuted off-Broadway in January, with a rotating cast featuring Behar and others.
“Based on hours of deep-dive interviews Behar conducted several years ago with a number of divorcées, the stories have been redacted by her, with their permission, to lend her signature sardonic wit to the tales, to close each with a happy ending for the women, and to leave the audience laughing and celebrating their new beginnings,” wrote Deb Miller in a review for dctheaterarts.org.
George Street Playhouse’s 2025-26 season will begin with “An Old-Fashioned Family Murder,” Oct. 14-Nov. 2 at The New Brunswick Performing Arts Center.
