Debbie Reynolds will bring her one-woman show, Debbie Reynolds Alive and Fabulous, to the West End’s Apollo Theatre, April 29 – May 9.

In the show, Reynolds reminisces about her career with the aid of movie clips, as well as her three marriages and her more recent comedy and cabaret career. Reynolds herself describes it as “a variety show,” adding “I get to do impressions of Barbra Streisand, Mae West, Katherine Hepburn — even Jimmy Stewart!”

Reynolds is best known for her star turns in MGM classics such as Singing in the Rain, The Unsinkable Molly Brown, and That’s Entertainment! On Broadway, she received a Tony Award nomination for her performance in the revival of Irene. Other stage credits include her one-woman show Debbie, seen at the Minskoff Theatre in 1976 and Woman of the Year. Reynolds’ daughter, Carrie Fisher, is currently appearing on Broadway in her own one-woman show, Wishful Drinking.
