I wanted to say something positive about this special one woman show after the scathing review I just read.

Most of the stuff she talked about it common knowledge, at least to me, except I didn't know that Eddie Fisher didn't marry Connie Stevens until after they had a couple of kids.

Anyway, Fisher does not hold back about anything--she talks about her entire life & the lives of her famous parents. However, nothing she says really seems malicious. Both Debbie Reynolds & Eddie Fisher were still around when she first started this show--she even mentioned that her father saw it. She never talks about anything that isn't well known, if you know anything about her at all. She seems cordial with her ex-husbands and loves her kid. She's not bitter; in fact, I found the show quite upbeat considering the mess her life had been.

She's frank, but if you're a fan you'll enjoy this little peek into her life.

Carrie Fisher's one woman show is, in a word, hilarious.

Fisher tells it all, growing up in Hollywood, having Eddie Fisher for a father, the Liz-Debbie-Eddie triangle, Princess Leia, her drug addiction, and her "invitation to a mental hospital." She gives us a look via a big board of Hollywood Genealogy 101 ("but don't worry, Eddie wasn't alone for long...") filled with pictures and arrows of her parents, their spouses, their children, and her own two marriages and daughter, trying to find out if her daughter and another young man on the board could date, or were they, in fact, related?

Due to his retention of the Star Wars licensing, Fisher advises us that George Lucas owns her image and likeness so that "every time I look in the mirror, I have to pay him a few bucks." And she tells the audience, "If you have a chance to be a Pez dispenser, DO IT." All in all, a fun evening, obviously from the mind that brought us the entertaining "Postcards from the Edge." Fisher sees the irony in life and mines it up and down roller coaster ride for all the humor there is. She is, after all, the daughter of Debbie Reynolds, who was nominated for an Oscar for "The Unsinkable Molly Brown"..."but lost to Julie Andrews for her multilayered, emotional, deep performance of Mary Poppins."
