Reader reviews: Write a review | Read more reviews This Beverly Hills yard sale of juicy anecdotes is an L.A. story that would defy credibility were it not for the very credible presence of its narrator. You can call Carrie Fisher many things -- an unflagging exhibitionist for starters -- but she has a candor that makes her a most reliable witness to the far-fetched autobiography that is at once her curse and cure. For humorous company, Fisher's a winner, though a legit venue like the Geffen sets the bar unnecessarily high for a patched-together cabaret that's roughly 98% gossipy patter, 2% song.

Larry Los Angeles, CAUnless you are into self-indulgent, narcissistic name dropping, skip this play. Aside from staccato one line zingers thrown out there for cheap laughs, this 105 minute monologue was simply boring. I really don't care how many times she argues with Paul Simon, or how promiscuous her father was. I sat there hoping for some insight into addiction or Hollywood or relationships, and I left the auditorium still waiting. Write a review | Read more reviews Current, Upcoming
