Broadway is Expensive. Times Square is a pain to walk through. Intermission isn't enough time to scarf down that $12 Watered-Down-Mojito which you can't bring to your seat. And that jerk in front of you is going to give a standing ovation to a reading of the telephone book. Why bother? We give you each of your (not so)
favorite Broadway shows, ten minutes at a time.

....has finally surpassed Fiddler On The Roof!

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 2009

Caroline in the (Jersey) City?

Check this out:

This is Lea Thompson.

If you didn't see her in Cabaret on Broadway, then you know her either as Marty's Mom in Back To The Future...

...or you may recognize her as the titular character from a sitcom called "Caroline In The City":

News from Williamstown Festival comes that she is playing the titular character in something called "Caroline in Jersey".

So all of you people who were disappointed when Caroline In The City ended, rejoice! Finally Lea Thompson is back as that character you may have loved--

Despite the suggestive title (which sounds like a down-at-the-heels sendup of "Caroline in the City) and the character of a middle-aged actress, Lopez did not write the play with Thompson in mind.

...oh.
