LONDON, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Hollywood screen icon Debbie Reynolds is taking her one-woman show "Debbie Reynolds Alive and Fabulous" to London's West End, producers said.

The 77-year-old actress starred in the film classics "Singin' in the Rain" and "The Unsinkable Molly Brown."

The BBC said she plans to perform a 15-date U.K. tour before bringing her show to London's Apollo Theatre in April.

This will mark her first return to the West End in 34 years.

"It's a variety show," Reynolds told the British broadcaster about "Alive and Fabulous." "I get to do impressions of Barbra Streisand, Mae West, Katherine Hepburn -- even Jimmy Stewart."

Reynolds' daughter Carrie Fisher is currently starring in "Wishful Drinking," her own one-woman show on Broadway.
