London's Southwark Playhouse has closed its new musical The Rhythmics - described as Calendar Girls meets the Full Monty - three weeks early, after "disruption caused by ongoing illness and Covid-19 related absences in the company".

Also Monday, FIG said the same disciplinary panel would investigate the president of Romania's rhythmics gymnastics federation, Irina Deleanu, over comments she made in a television interview about judging standards at a London Olympics test event in January.

Featuring the flexible tenor inventions of Joe Henderson and the thoughtful suspensions of Pianist McCoy Tyner, the quintet favors an ambiance of melodic continuity set to disciplined rhythmics.

Perhaps not all my myriad rhymes, But all my rhythmics sixty times.

What right have people to sing who know nothing about rhythmics, melodies, dynamics?
