WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In Wishful Drinking, Carrie Fisher recounts the true and intoxicating tale of her life as a Hollywood legend, told with the same wry wit she poured into bestsellers like Postcards from the Edge. The daughter of Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher became a cultural icon when she starred as "Princess Leia" in the first Star Wars trilogy at 19 years old. Forever changed, Carrie's life did not stay picture perfect. Fisher is the life of the party in this uproarious and sobering look at her Hollywood hangover.

Wishful Drinking
A very funny show full of self-deprecating humor, very funny anecdotes and some homely wit and wisdom thrown in. Very good value indeed. Carrie has great delivery and timing and certainly evokes a lot of laughs over the two hour duration of the show. Go see it.

Carrie Fisher begins Wishful Drinking, her consistently entertaining stage memoir now at the Roundabout Theatre Company's Studio 54, by singing "Happy Days Are Here Again" in a voice stronger than either her mother, Debbie Reynolds, or her father, Eddie Fisher, ever had. She means the ditty ironically -- because the tale she's fixing to tell is not about a never-ending string of cloudless days at the beach.
Fortunately, whatever vices she no longer has, Fisher is still addicted to the temptation to be ironic on every aspect of the dazzling, dizzying, dysfunctional life she's led. As she paces back and forth on the stage in what looks like black pajamas and a sort of filmy wrap, Fisher waxe[...]
