Joan Rivers

Tuesday, 2 September 2008 - Thursday, 18 September 2008

Leicester Square Theatre, Leicester Square, Leicester Square, WC2H 7BP

Comedy: , Stand Up

How Much: £75.00 (Highest Price) , £35.00 (Lowest Price)
Set in Joan's dressing room backstage at the annual Oscars ceremony, Joan is preparing for one of her legendary TV catwalk commentaries on the fashion hits and disasters at Hollywood's biggest night of the year. But all is not well... her dressing room is B, not A; her complimentary cheese is puny, not plentiful; and her producer is the bigwig's nephew, not the bigwig!

The tension and drama are the catalyst for an introspective look at aging, going through life's ups and downs and being a woman in Hollywood. After Joan's five amazing decades in showbusiness, the topics fly by - some familiar, some not. The famous breakup with Johnny Carson is there, her husband's suicide, the feuds and firings, several backstabbings, sidesteps and full frontal calamities. You may think you've heard it all before, but you'd be wrong...
No Photo. Can you help out?
