Synopsis: | Surprisingly, Fisher opens and closes her reminiscing monologue with a song. I hadn't a clue she could sing - duh, consider the genes! - and I'm amazed that she hasn't appeared in a Broadway or film musical in all these years. As with Postcards from the Edge, for which she also wrote the screenplay for the hit film starring Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine, Wishful Drinking is unabashedly autobiographical. Fisher, daughter of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher, is a sort of demi-Hollywood royalty herself. Not as well known as her illustrious parents, perhaps, nevertheless she grew up breathing the rarified air of celebrity. Kevin Bacon, move aside for a fast-paced game of five degrees of Carrie Fisher, for in fact the evening comes complete with a zany genealogy-inspired lecture as Fisher struggles to determine if her daughter is related to a prospective suitor, such are the confusions of celebrity couplings. | |||||
