Review:
Carrie Fisher is a pisser -- and a great story teller. Her autobiographical one-woman show, Wishful Drinking, now on Broadway, with her celebrity-filled life stories, her bouts with drugs, alcohol and personal betrayals, is totally engaging and enjoyable, with her tongue-in-cheek attitude carrying us through some awful episodes and some happy ones. Her star parents, her notoriety from "Star Wars," her headline-making plunges -- all is revealed, all mocked, by a true survivor who is a terrific performer. Long may she wave!
