Debbie Reynolds, MGM legend and star of Singin’ in the Rain, The Unsinkable Molly Brown and That’s Entertainment! celebrates more than 50 years in showbusiness by bringing her award-winning one-woman show, Debbie Reynolds Alive And Fabulous to the West End.
Debbie Reynolds Alive And Fabulous features actual MGM movie clips as Reynolds reminisces about her glittering career, her many husbands and her incredible life of song and dance. “It’s a variety show,” she says. “I get to do impressions of Barbra Streisand, Mae West, Katherine Hepburn – even Jimmy Stewart!”
Reynolds’s career began when she was discovered as a 16-year-old beauty contest winner. She went on to work for MGM, playing perky, wholesome young women, and is one of the few actresses to have danced with both Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly in the movies. More recently she has appeared on television screens in the hit American sitcom Will And Grace.
Debbie Reynolds Alive And Fabulous plays a brief UK tour before its West End engagement at the Apollo theatre.
