Carol Burnett has canceled her appearance in the world premiere of Charles Grodin's What's Been Bothering You Lately?, which is scheduled to begin performances Oct. 17 at The Falcon Theatre.
A statement released from the Burbank, CA, venue reads: "Falcon Theatre deeply regrets announcing that famed actress Carol Burnett, scheduled to star in the second show of its all-comedy 2007-2008 subscription season, must cancel her appearance due to an unexpected family situation."
No replacement for the star has been named. Producers are currently deciding upon another actor.

The 2007-2008 season at the Falcon Theatre (subject to change) follows:
Leap by Arnold Margolin (Sept. 5-Oct. 7)
Susan Morgenstern directs the work, which is billed as "A Metaphysical Farce." "All Bob wants to do is jump out a window. Is that too much to ask? As Bob discovers, he has to go through Heaven and Hell before he can LEAP!"
What’s Been Bothering You Lately? by Charles Grodin (Oct. 17-Nov. 18)
Chris Smith directs the world premiere centering on "an under-qualified life coach specializing in couples' therapy. She knows that she could really help them…if only they weren't so crazy."
A Charlie James Brown Christmas (Nov. 28, 2007-Jan. 13, 2008)
Matt Walker directs the latest world premiere from The Troubadour Theater Company, which parodies "the 1965 animated television classic and make[s] it funky with music from the Godfather of Soul."

Granville "Sonny" Van Dusen (Falcon's Darwin in Malibu, Golf with Alan Shepard) stars in "a one-man show revealing a lighter side of Abraham Lincoln you have never seen before." Jenny Sullivan stages the Falcon run based on Delbert Mann's original direction.
