I saw Wishful Drinking...
and Jo Anne Worley Stole The Show!!!by b1xx1b on 23. Jun, 2009 | 2 Comments
Performer: Wishful Drinking Venue: Geffen Playhouse Year: 2006 City: Westwood State: CA Country: US
Wishful Drinking starring the one and only Princess Leia (aka Carrie Fisher) was a show not to be forgotten! The Princess was thirty years older and it def showed. She went up on her lines quite a bit … at one point asking the audience to help her think of a word… and who YELLS the word (which for the life of my *I* can’t remember!) from the audience — JoAnne Worley of laugh-in fame! Rare!
After the show we went next door to Burger King and purchased Princess Leia dolls… random.

Does the show poster feature Carrie Fisher’s head in a Martini glass… with Princess Leia hairbuns??!

I have several issues with this post.
Firstly, we purchased Princess Leia WATCHES at Burger King, not dolls.
And then here’s the forgotten anecdote:
After the show, we were walking through the lobby area. On various tables in the lobby were oversized martini glasses, per the theme of the show. We then witnessed said Joanne Worley pick up one of said large martini glasses and fake toast, “Here’s to ya!” Laughter ensued.
Medium rare.
