Abstract

Attention all Elaine Stritch fans: it's time to get better acquainted with the New Jersey Transit schedule. Paper Mill Playhouse, in Millburn, N.J., has announced that Ms. Stritch, right, is joining its production of the musical comedy ''The Full Monty,'' running June 10 to July 12. Ms. Stritch, 83, whose credits include ''Company,'' ''A Delicate Balance'' and her popular one-woman show, ''Elaine Stritch at Liberty,'' will play Jeanette Burmeister. Ben Brantley, in his New York Times review of the Broadway production of ''The Full Monty'' in 2000, described the character as a ''salty old retired club pianist,'' who is the accompanist for a group of unemployed steel workers turned strippers in Buffalo.
