An event promotion noted that the show will feature “a live appearance by everyone’s favorite Jeannie, TV icon Barbara Eden, in a special, brand-new theatrical event.” Eden is 91 years old.

 â€œFor the very first time, Barbara Eden, star of long-running and popular television series ‘I Dream of Jeannie’ (will be) interviewed live on stage.” The show ran from 1965 to 1970.

“Let Barbara take you back into her magic bottle, recalling her fabulous start-studded career,”  the promotion concluded.

Regarding Eden’s career, Wikipedia stated, “Her other notable roles include Roslyn Pierce opposite Elvis Presley in ‘Flaming Star‘ (1960), Lieutenant jg Cathy Connors in ‘Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea’ (1961), and a single widowed mother, Stella Johnson, in the film ‘Harper Valley PTA’ (1978).
