BY Michael Schaub • June 21, 2023

Share via Facebook

Kerry Washington will go on a book tour to promote her upcoming memoir, Thicker Than Water .

The actor, known for Emmy-nominated turns in the series Scandal and Little Fires Everywhere , will publish her memoir with Little, Brown Spark on Sept. 26. The publisher describes the book as a “profoundly moving and beautifully written memoir” that “reveals how she faced a series of challenges and setbacks, effectively hid childhood traumas…ultimately discovering her truest self and, with it, a deeper sense of belonging.”

Washington announced news of her book tour on a video on Twitter. “Not only did I write a book, but I’m going to do a book tour, which is nuts, and I’m going to be traveling to a bunch of different cities.…I’m going to be in conversation with you, but also with some of my closest, most amazing friends, people who have read the book, people who I love. And we’re just going to have some real talk. We’re going to talk about life and love and family and truth.”

When Do Kerry Washington Tickets Go On Sale?

Tickets for Kerry Washington go on sale to the general public on Friday, June 23rd at 10am local time.

Fans can also access an artist presale that opens on Wednesday, June 21st at 10am local time.

A VIP Meet & Greet presale will also begin on Wednesday, June 21st at 10am local time. Get the Kerry Washington presale code and presale time below.

What Is The Kerry Washington Presale Code?

Fans can access Kerry Washington book tour tickets early through an artist presale.

Artist Presale

The artist presale starts Wednesday, June 21st at 10am local time through Thursday, June 22nd at 10pm.

First, you should select your preferred Kerry Washington tour date and bookmark the page for easy access later on. Information regarding access to the artist presale has yet to be officially announced, though we recommend texting the phone number located in Washington’s Instagram bio and signing up.

VIP Meet & Greet Presale

There will also be a VIP Meet & Greet presale that opens Wednesday, June 21st at 10am local time and ends Thursday, June 22nd at 10pm. We recommend bookmarking your desired tour date and following the same steps as the artist presale, text and sign-up via the phone number in Washington’s Instagram bio to potentially receive more information on presale access.

Pro Tips When Buying Your Tickets

First, on the day of the presale or general onsale (whichever you prefer), login to your Ticketmaster account ( go to my account or sign in located on the upper right corner of the page ) at least 15 minutes ahead of the sale time. If you don’t have one,  create one now .

Be sure to add your billing info (aka credit card info) before jumping into the digital queue for a quick check-out. Once the presale starts, remain in the digital queue. Only use one browser window because using multiple browsers or devices and multiple accounts with the same phone number can result in errors. Trust, it’s happened to us before! Don’t refresh your page, do be patient, don’t leave your page, do get those tickets!

What To Do If Tickets Are Sold Out?

If tickets sell out, your other option is to buy them via online resellers like VividSeats or StubHub. When all else fails, we prefer these resell options because both offer a 100% Guarantee. You can also purchase resell tickets through Ticketmaster’s resell program. Just search for the concert or event you want to attend , and see if they have any resell tickets available. We recommend you compare the three options and find out which works best for you.

Alternatively, you can hit it old school style and show up at the concert when the box office opens and wish upon a star that they release more tickets, or hopefully, another concert-goer has an extra ticket to sell at face-value or even giveaway for free. Trust, this happens more often than not! We’ve given away many tickets to sold-out shows simply because our +1 couldn’t make it.

Also, more standard tickets are often released via Ticketmaster 1-3 days leading up to the show date. We’ve seen it with Beyonce , Taylor Swift , Arctic Monkeys and many more! It’s a secret gatekeeped by many, but if you’re reading this, now you know! So be sure to set your calendar notifications!

Kerry washington.

Kerry Washington is an Emmy-winning, SAG, and Golden Globe-nominated actor, director, producer, and organizer. A native of The Bronx, New York, Washington is a versatile and fearless multi-hyphenate, and has received high acclaim for her work in film, television, theater, digital media, advocacy, and beyond.

Olivia and Fitz Reuniting Leaves Fans Gagging Over Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn’s Off-Screen Chemistry

“Scandal” stars Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn reunited on Sept. 27 in Washington, D.C., and fans could not get enough of seeing Olivia Pope and president Fitzgerald Grant III together again.

Washington and Goldwyn played lovers in the ABC drama from 2012 until 2018. The two were in Washington, D.C., to promote Washington’s autobiography “Thicker Than Water.” During the D.C. stop of the book tour, Goldwyn joined Washington on stage to discuss their time on “Scandal.” Fans became overjoyed when the 46-year-old actress shared a video recreating one of their signature “Scandal” moments with the caption, “Hi D.C.#Olitz is ready for you.”

Hi D.C.👋🏾 #Olitz is ready for you pic.twitter.com/p5DIViesrl — kerry washington (@kerrywashington) September 27, 2023

Goldwyn looked as handsome as ever, wearing a dark-colored suit with a light blue button shirt, while Washington rocked red pants, a lace top in red, and her hair in a smooth bun.

Tony Goldwyn Kerry Washington

The new author also shared several photos of her reunion with the “Ghost” actor, including a playful picture of her pretending to pick her former co-star’s nose. Fans loved seeing the duo back together again, and several noted the actors’ chemistry .

One X user wrote , “11 years later and they still have mad chemistry!”

“Olivia Pope and President Fitz Grant The chemistry that never dies. Beyond scandal. #Olitz,” added another.

Another fan posted a short clip of Washington and Goldwyn on stage at the event. In the video, Washington playfully refers to Goldwyn as “boo.”

One fan replied ,”I am losing it here, squealing like a teenage girl right now. My heart is exploding aaaaaagggghhh.”

Washington describes her book “Thicker Than Water” as “deeply personal” to People magazine.

“Writing a memoir is, by far, the most deeply personal project I have ever taken on,” said the actress. “I hope that readers will receive it with open hearts, and I pray that it offers new insights and perspectives and invites people into deeper compassion — for themselves and others.”

The “Ray” actress also reveals a family secret in her autobiography, sharing that her father is not her biological father. She told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on “Today” that she was shocked to learn that she was conceived by a sperm donor.

“And I went (to them)… and my parents told me that my dad is not my biological father,” she said . “That I was born from a sperm donor.”

Washington added that her parents told her the news as she was planning to appear on the show about celebrities searching their family trees, “Finding Your Roots.”

“Thicker Than Water” is now available in bookstores.

Kerry Washington’s Latest Press Tour Looks Are Full Of Fall Boot Inspiration

She’s promoting her memoir, Thicker Than Water .

Kerry Washington is seen leaving "The View" on March 9, 2023

In Hollywood, press tours give your favorite celebrities a chance to show off their style while promoting their latest projects. Sometimes, it’s a one day event with multiple outfit changes — like when Gigi Hadid wore 8 looks in just 24 hours to promote Next In Fashion . Other times, though, the media circuit festivities will span several days , across several countries, which demands a more intense wardrobe lineup. This week, all eyes were on Kerry Washington and what she wore as she celebrated the launch of her memoir Thicker Than Water . Washington’s press tour looks, thus far, have been polished and colorful, offering a bit of cheerfulness to the rainy gloom of New York City (as of this Tuesday, it’s been pouring for four days straight here).

One of our favorite looks from the star come on September 25, when the Scandal actor popped up Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in a reddish-brown knit sweater and asymmetrical skirt set with blue suede boots. The unexpected burst of cerulean provided by her footwear made them the star of the show, while the star’s red braided bag and matching lipstick played supporting characters. She accessorized the striking combination with a medley of jewelry from Marlo Laz, a fine jewelry brand founded by Jesse Marlo Lazowski in 2014.

Kerry Washington is seen on September 25, 2023 in New York City.

In addition to her chestnut brown set, Washington wore two other looks on Sept. 25 while promoting her new book. The actor dropped by the Today show while wearing a turquoise-hued top, an orange floral print skirt, and gray Manolo Blahnik suede knee-high boots . She then accented this look with jewelry from labels like Rainbow K, Yvonne Léon, and Grace Lee.

Though two out of her three looks were on the more colorful side, Washington did tap into the white dress tren d with a ruffled creation while on her way to Good Morning America . Wearing white was a daring move on her part (the rain! puddles! NYC grime!), but she seemed to pay no mind as she even took the subway instead of a car. The actor passed out copies of her book to unsuspecting passengers on the F train line, stopping to chat and pose with fans for photos.

Not only did this surprise fan interaction make us appreciate Washington even more, but as we head into fall, we’ll definitely take some wardrobe notes from her too. For our next rainy day attire, we will rock knee-high boots with a dress or knitted set for that pulled-together look.

Still, a word to the wise: if you’re commuting to work via the train, perhaps swap your suede shoes for a water-resistance leather option instead.

Tickets include a copy  the book ($30 list price), which you'll receive at the event.

About the Book

While on a drive in Los Angeles, on a seemingly average afternoon, Kerry Washington received a text message that would send her on a life-changing journey of self-discovery. In an instant, her very identity was torn apart, with everything she thought she knew about herself thrown into question.

In "Thicker than Water," Washington gives readers an intimate view into both her public and private worlds—as an artist, an advocate, an entrepreneur, a mother, a daughter, a wife, a Black woman. Chronicling her upbringing and life's journey thus far, she reveals how she faced a series of challenges and setbacks, effectively hid childhood traumas, met extraordinary mentors, managed to grow her career, and crossed the threshold into stardom and political advocacy, ultimately discovering her truest self and, with it, a deeper sense of belonging.

Throughout this profoundly moving and beautifully written memoir, Washington attempts to answer the questions so many have struggled with:  Who am I? What is my truest and most authentic self? How do I find a deeper sense of connection and belonging?  With grace and honesty, she inspires readers to search for—and find—themselves.

Kerry Washington Posted A Video Of Her Reuniting With Tony Goldwyn, And Everyone's Reactions Are Perfectly Spot-On

Someone said Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn's chemistry is their Roman Empire, and I'm starting to think it might be mine, too.

Nora Dominick

BuzzFeed Staff

It's safe to say that there are a ton of TV and movie actors who just have incredible chemistry . In fact, I've written several posts in the past about the BEST TV chemistry.

Screenshots from "Outlander"

And, without fail, every single time we have the "who has the best onscreen chemistry" conversation , there are two people who pop up: Kerry Washington and Tony Goldwyn .

Screenshots from "Scandal"

LIKE, THIS IS FROM THE VERY FIRST EPISODE?!!!

Of course, Kerry and Tony starred together as Olivia Pope and President Fitz on Shonda Rhimes's hit series Scandal , which ran from 2012 to 2018.

Screenshots from "Scandal"

Over the course of its seven-season run , Scandal gifted us with one of the best love squares (?) between Olivia, Fitz, Mellie (Bellamy Young), and Jake (Scott Foley). But, let's face it, at the end of the day, it was always going to be Olivia and Fitz.

Screenshots from "Scandal"

I mean, c'mon, they had VERMONT, people.

While the show ended five years ago, the entire cast has stayed close friends, often reuniting whenever they can:

Anyway, this takes us to yesterday when Kerry and Tony reunited during Kerry's current book tour for her memoir Thicker Than Water , which is described as "an intimate view into both her public and private worlds — as an artist, an advocate, an entrepreneur, a mother, a daughter, a wife, a Black woman."

Cover art for "Thicker Than Water"

Tony moderated a discussion in Washington, DC — yes, they knew exactly what they were doing — and before the event, Kerry shared a video of her walking to Tony's dressing room set to THE Olivia and Fitz music from Scandal .

The way kerry walks down the hallway and then the way tony says, "hi.".

Screenshot from Kerry's Instagram post

And don't even get me STARTED on the way they look at each other in the doorway. I am over here giggling and kicking my feet.

Closeup of Kerry and Tony

Scott even had a perfect reply in the Instagram comments, LOL:

"...I don't get it."

Okay, and then at the event, Tony apparently printed out his favorite quotes from Kerry's book to share with her and I just—

the way tony printed out his favorite quotes from the book to read to kerry… pic.twitter.com/kOZQA9pZO1 — c. (@here2flail) September 28, 2023

Kerry also posted a series of photos, and based on the chemistry radiating off of them, I apparently would have no objections if they ever rebooted Scandal .

And i'm not the only one; everyone — and i mean everyone — who watched even a single second of scandal was floored by kerry and tony's chemistry once again:.

And the people in Kerry's comments on both Instagram and TikTok were all thinking the same thing, too:

"We need a Scandal movie"

Basically, Kerry and Tony have the most amazing chemistry and, in conclusion, this 100% applies to them:

in MY personal opinion if two actors have good chemistry there’s no problem with casting them in 3 more movies together — liya (@mondlerina) August 20, 2023

Kerry Washington to star in ‘Imperfect Women’ Apple TV+ series

Emmy Award-winning actress Elisabeth Moss will also star in the limited series, which is based on an Araminta Hall novel of the same name.

The next Kerry Washington series is here. The Emmy Award winner is set to star in “Imperfect Women” for Apple TV+.

2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones - Arrivals

The upcoming limited series is an adaptation of the Araminta Hall novel of the same name, per Variety . Washington will star alongside “Mad Men” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” star Elisabeth Moss in what is described as an “unconventional, psychological thriller examining a crime that shatters the lives of a decades-long friendship of three women.”

“‘Imperfect Women’ is a mystery complicated by perspective that explores guilt and retribution, love and betrayal, and the compromises we make that alter our lives irrevocably,” Variety details. “As the investigation unravels, so does the truth about how even the closest relationships can change over time.”

Washington and Moss will executive produce the series via Simpson Street and Love & Squalor Pictures, respectively, with Anne Weisman adapting the book for the screen. In a statement to Variety, Washington recalled receiving a call from Moss to join the project. “I have been an immense fan of hers – both as a brilliant actor and groundbreaking producer – for years. Elisabeth and Lindsey [McManus, executive producer also with Love & Squalor] have impeccable taste, as evidenced by the way they have championed Araminta’s gripping novel, and I can’t think of a better person to bring this project to life on screen than the amazing Annie Weisman.”
