WISHFUL DRINKING Starring Carrie Fisher
Presented by Victoria Theatre Association
April 10-22
Dayton
Reviews: Dayton Examiner | Dayton Most Metro |
The daughter of late singer Eddie Fisher and actress 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. A colorful evening of what Fisher calls “talking about myself behind my back,” WISHFUL DRINKING is a breezy combination of one-liners and behind-the-Hollywood-scenes-gossip, all relayed with Fisher’s withering, dry humor.
