My supes sweet boyfriend got us house seats for my birthday to see Carrie Fisher's Broadway show Wishful Drinking. Now I am a big fan of Ms. Fisher and always have been, but never for Star Wars, funny enough. I actually never made it through that movie without falling asleep. I enjoy her writing and her performances in Soap Dish, Austin Powers, The Man with One Red Shoe, When Harry met Sally. This performance starts off with an announcement that "unfortunately the role of Carrie Fisher will NOT be played by Meryl Steep tonight" and the self-depricating humor continues throughout the show. Carrie's view of the world is understandably odd since she is the child of Hollywood royalty. HIGHLY DISFUNCTIONAL Hollywood royalty. She has stories that will make you laugh wildly and feel a little guilty about it. Stories of drugs, gay husbands, fillandering parents, more drugs. If you don't get a chance to see the show, you should read the book for sure. Even if you do see the show, you should read the book. Have a little culture! It won't kill you! All in all, Carrie is a super genius and this show is very, very funny.
