Westchester | Former theater critic le Sourd dies

Jacques le Sourd, the longtime theater critic of The Journal News, has died after collapsing Feb. 5, outside the home of friends in Preston, Lancashire, England, where he had been living for more than a year. He was 64.

Le Sourd left the paper in June 2009 when the Journal News eliminated the Broadway critic’s position, the newspaper reported yesterday. But for 34 years, "le Sourd covered Broadway, Off-Broadway and local theater with a pen that flowed equally well whether crafting a pick or a pan."
