London, May 21 - Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones scrapped two of her performances of her Broadway show A Little Nigh Music after falling ill.

The actress is currently starring on the New York stage in the musical, but she was forced to cancel both a matinee and evening show on Wednesday (19May10).

The cancellation sparked rumours that she was flying to join husband Michael Douglas at the Cannes Film Festival in France.

However, Zeta-Jones' representative has dismissed the rumours, insisting she was sick.

"She wasn't able to go to Cannes due to her commitment to performing eight shows a week," the Daily Star quoted the rep as telling the New York Post. (ANI)
