In Wishful Drinking, Carrie Fisher continues where her smash book “Postcards form the Edge” left off; the delectable tales of excess, the naughty namedropping, and best of all the intoxicated misadventures with which her life was littered. Buy Wishful Drinking tickets and enjoy a romp with Princess Leia through an alcoholic wonderland that is rarely painful and always hilarious.
The big difference between “Postcards” and “Wishful Drinking” is that “Postcards” was a semi-autobiographical novel but Wishful Drinking really is Carrie Fisher – in all her naked, unvarnished glory. Wishful Drinking tickets are selling fast, so if you want to make a date with Princess Leia do it now!
What should you expect from this show? It’s a question many people are asking, and the answer is “Outrageous fun and lots of it!” The Wishful Drinking schedule at New York’s Studio 54 offers both matinees and evening performances. Whatever your preference, you are free to watch Carrie Fisher in the flesh, revealing the not-so-glittery darkside of a life lived as a Hollywood sex symbol who conquered galaxies. Much of the appeal of Wishful Drinking lies in seeing a representative of American nostalgia getting her ya-yas out; it’s more about being hip enough to buy Wishful Drinking tickets and hit Studio 54 than it is about your personal journey, though. Even if you were more of a Trekkie than a Star Wars freak, or perhaps not into sci-fi at all, this neurotic comedy makes light of everything from stomach-pumps to electroconvulsive therapy, and it is truly funny. Fisher is a master when it comes to fluffing the pillows of voyeurism, even when the voyeur is a stranger she is telling her own story to. Your Wishful Drinking tickets will have you in an enviable position; sat before an iconic Hollywood movie star who is relating her darkest hours, but with a mad dash of self-deprecating hilarity that is as real as it is funny. Don’t miss out on this one. The Wishful Drinking tickets you buy today will be – guaranteed – the best show you see this year.
