NEW YORK (AP) — Whoopi Goldberg is about to break two ironclad rules of show business — never work with animals or children.

Goldberg will help lead the show at The Theater at Madison Square Garden from Dec. 11-Jan. 5. The tour has a deep connection to the first version of the hit show: It is being directed by Jenn Thompson, who at the age of 10 stepped into the role of Pepper in the original Broadway production.
