Joe Brown Reviews »

Comedian Lily Tomlin resurrects classic characters in her Las Vegas debut, but also introduces an elderly married couple she based on her parents.

Hilarious, timely, personal: Lily Tomlin at her best: Lily Tomlin is worried. “I worry,” she says, “about being a success in a mediocre world.”

Wayne Newton: The story, but not the sound: I had been warned that Wayne Newton can’t sing anymore. Apparently it’s been common knowledge for years that his voice is shot.

'The Shawl': Smart and spooky: “The Shawl,” a seldom-performed three-hander by David Mamet, culminates in a seance.
