Jones, Burnett not coming

And on the slightly disappointing front.

She's still on the poster, but for reasons described as "an unexpected family situation," Carol Burnett will not appear in Charles Grodin's play "What's Been Bothering You Lately" at the Falcon Theatre Oct. 17-Nov. 18. The show apparently will go on but with someone else playing the under-qualified life coach.

Even more frustrating is the cancellation of Sarah Jones's engagement of "Bridge & Tunnel" at the Brentwood Theatre. A Tony award winning solo show, first produced by Meryl Streep, "Bridge & Tunnel" was apparently supposed to be part of a tour which never materialized. It was to play the Brentwood Theatre beginning Sept. 25.

The publicists are using the word "postponed" not cancellation. We can hope, therefore, that Jones and "Bridge" will tunnel their way over anon.

As the Theater Critic of the L.A. Daily News, Evan Henerson goes to a lot of plays in a city where most people go to the movies. For the sake of the people who put on these plays - and, yes, for the sake of his job - he thinks you should do the same.
