About

WISHFUL DRINKING, Carrie Fisher's autobiographical solo show, follows Fisher's life. Born to celebrity parents, Fisher lands among the stars when she's picked to play a princess in a little movie called ‘Star Wars.' But her story isn't all sweetness and light sabers. As a single mom, she also battles addiction, depression, mental institutions, and that awful hyperspace hairdo. It's an incredible tale-from having her father leave her mother for Elizabeth Taylor to marrying and divorcing singer/songwriter Paul Simon, from having the father of her baby leave her for a man to waking up one morning and finding a friend dead beside her in bed. Don't miss this opportunity to see Carrie Fisher's hit Broadway show.

    Great Wit and Homor from Carrie Fisher

    by Tommy716 on 2/14/12Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    A thoroughly enjoyable one-person show. Carrie Fisher redefines self-deprecating humor by taking the audience through her life as a Hollywood child, actress and writer and examines the struggles she faced with her own addictions but the issues others in her life faced and how that impacted her.

    Wistful and Wry

    by carlajean31 on 2/14/12Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    By the time Carrie Fisher's show has finished, you want to ask her out for a cuppa coffee. She is brave to lay bare her life in front of strangers. She fully appreciates that her childhood and Hollywood life were totally unlike the lives of 99% of us, but somehow she makes us believe that her dysfunctional families and her bizarre experiences are just like our own! The show was casual and funny, and different generations of women (mostly) can relate to her stories. We enjoyed it. Carrie on!

    great

    by SamWalker on 2/14/12Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    Carrie Fisher was hilarious and it was a great show. I am sad that my bf didn't volunteer when she was looking for a participant. I was in the second row in her direct line of sight and there was no one sitting in front of us in the pit. So it was awesome. I got teary eyed at the end when she did her line from Star Wars, I grew up on those movies and always looked up to her. She's awesome. I was surprised to see so few people my age there (I'm 29) , most audience members were in the 45-65 age range. I suppose this is true with most broadway acts.

    Carrie 'wishful' Fisher WonderBar!!

    by TyfromMD on 2/13/12Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    Carrie Fisher captivates her audience in raw and honest speak, layered with wry humor. She is an awesome person who has overcome a lot in her life and is brave enough, with a dose (no pun) of poised humor. Wonderful anecdotes and remembrances with clips of her mother and father, Debbie Reynolds, and Eddie Fisher. Carrie also pokes fun at herself about being Princess Leia and the phenominon of being within the Star Wars Saga. An exceptionally special docu-play. Wooo Whooo!!

    HILARIOUS and moving!

    by showgirl2012 on 2/13/12Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    Carrie Fisher was amazing! She was an energetic presence on stage, and her combination of blunt humor and honesty were unforgettable. Nice to be reminded that we all need to have a sense of humor about what we do and what life does to us.

    Could have been better

    by LrihsS on 2/12/12Hippodrome at France-Merrick Performing Arts Center - Baltimore

    I love Carrie Fisher and was looking forward to this ladies night out event I had organized. I only wish Carrie Fisher's show and been longer and included more details of her life. She really lightly hit on several issues but did not talk about electric shock therapy or her time spent writing movies, her friends in the business, etc. I felt there could have been more.
