Fisher's 'Drinking' extends on B'way

Solow show to run through January 17

Carrie Fisher solo show "Wishful Drinking" will extend its Broadway run at Roundabout Theater Company's Studio 54, where the production now plays through Jan. 17.

Fisher's autobiographical outing, which began perfs Sept. 22 and opened Oct. 4, already was set for an engagement (originally through Jan. 3) that was unusually long for a show that is part of a nonprofit theater's season programming.

Though not a record-breaker, "Drinking" has proven a solid seller for the Roundabout, with its viability no doubt helped by the low running costs associated with solo shows.

Production, which has toured nationally, is helmed by Tony Taccone, a.d. of Berkeley Rep, where "Drinking" played twice prior to its Rialto stint.
