I know that I'll be in the minority here, but I did not like this Carrie Fisher one-woman show.

Besides her rather obnoxious voice, she prances around the stage and discusses items that really shouldn't have been brought up again. We didn't need to hear about her relationship with her parents and how her father went from one woman to another after his divorce from Liz Taylor. Equally in poor taste, we didn't have to hear about Debbie's love life after Eddie. She didn't miss any details.

Some of the funny lines included Debbie losing the 1964 best actress Oscar for "Unsinkable Molly Brown" to Julie Andrews's "Mary Poppins." The way she describe it, making Andrews a dramatic performer there was funny.

Even George Lucas, Carrie Fisher's director in 1977's "Star Wars" comes under unnecessary scrutiny.

Both at the beginning and end, Ms. Fisher sings "Happy Days are Here Again." To me, that was achieved when the show ended.

The show was in poor taste and that board showing the Fisher-Reynolds lineage was a joke, and a bad one at that.
