It’ll probably be a little more organized that Charlie Sheen’s similar venture earlier this week. At the event, MacLaine will also take questions from the audience, but before heading to town, she took a few minutes to field questions from theaterjones.com. “I’m too old to sing and dance and travel with an orchestra, but I have all that stuff I used to entertain people with and then I tell the stories about what it was like, what the secrets were, what went on and what didn’t. I don’t have a hard time talking,” she says.
