WISHFUL DRINKING Reviewed In The New York Times
Today The New York Times published a review of Carrie Fisher's Wishful Drinking. The article is written by Ben Brantley and begins:
"You have probably wondered what it would be like to walk a mile (or a light-year) in the hair coils of Princess Leia, the intergalactic pinup girl from the original "Star Wars" movies. O.K., so you haven't.
But Carrie Fisher has arrived on Broadway with the intention of clamping those unflattering Danish-pastry-shaped pieces right onto your head - I mean, figuratively, of course, though in the case of one (un)lucky selected audience member per show, literally. What's more, you're going to like it. A lot."

Wishful Drinking is created and performed by Carrie Fisher and directed by Tony Taccone at Studio 54 on Broadway (254 West 54th St).
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 Fisherbecame 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.
