They should have gone with their original plan to do 'Mystic Pizza: The Musical'

OK, so Julia Roberts didn't exactly set Broadway on fire Wednesday night with her debut in "Three Days of Rain." But the reviews weren't all bad. For instance, I combed through several dozen of them and was able to glean the following very positive comments:

• "Not once did Ms. Roberts fall or bump into furniture."
• "It was reminiscent of her scintillating performance in 'Pretty Woman,' except without the charisma or the hooker outfits."
• "The intermission was dazzling."
• "The way she mumbled so you couldn't hear what she was saying really stimulated the imagination. For instance, I spent much of the second act imagining what might happen if I choked on my Jujubes."
• "It was the best performance I'd seen on Broadway all night, except for her co-stars."
