The Roundabout Theatre Company has announced that its production of Carrie Fisher’s solo show, Wishful Drinking at Studio 54, has extended through January 17, 2010. Tony Taccone directs.

In this autobiographically-based piece, Fisher recounts the true and intoxicating tale of her life as a Hollywood legend — the daughter of Eddie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, who became a cultural icon when she starred as “Princess Leia” in the first Star Wars trilogy at 19 years old. Alexander V. Nichols provides scenic, lighting, and projection design.
