Wishful Drinking is the bitingly funny autobiographical work of Carrie Fisher and is scheduled to begin previews at the New York Broadway Theatre Studio 54 later this month. The official opening of the show is October 4, and its limited run is scheduled to end in January of 2010. Residents and tourists staying in a New York USA hotel should make early reservation to guarantee their seat in this incredible journey of revelation and mayhem. As can be derived from the show’s title, Fisher tells in painfully humorous detail the stories of alcohol and parties she encountered as major Hollywood and social icon.

Fisher was born the daughter of the power duo Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher in Burbank, California. When she was two her parents were divorced and her father married Elizabeth Taylor. With all these super start talents surrounding her family life and early childhood socialization, it seems destined that Fisher was bound for a career in entertainment. Her initial performance experience began with the stage, so it is fitting that the stage is also where she has focused much of her recent work. However, Fisher will probably be most known and immortalized for her role as Princess Leia in George Lucas’ Star Wars series.

Fisher’s early life and exposure to all the destructive trappings of wealth and fame initiated her into an early experience with substances such as alcohol. She makes rich comedy work in her processing of these crazy party years, and has demonstrated a strong talent as a producer, writer and actress, which has continually propelled her through her life. Postcards From the Edge was her first major autobiographical writing that exposed some of the more controversial elements of her life, in a bitingly comedic style. It was adapted into a film in 1990 and starred Shirley MacLaine, Dennis Quaid and Meryl Streep.
