Posted: 1/13/07 at 3:49pmMaybe you should spell her name right before you think of her being on Broadway.

Mellally = Mullally.
For a minute there I thought I was out of the Broadway loop. I have NEVER heard of Megan Mellally.
Now...Megan MULLALLY is a different story, and yes...she WILL be back on Broadway. She's been quite overt about aching to return to Broadway.
Now that she's 'free' again, her options are open.

Sorry 'bout the typo.

right?

Maybe she can do a one woman show where she interviews a different celeb each night...
Oh wait, maybe not. 
#8re: Bring Megan Mellally to Broadway!
Posted: 1/13/07 at 4:54pmI'd love her to come back to Broadway, but if she does I hope she chooses a show wisely and a part that plays to her strengths.
#9re: Bring Megan Mellally to Broadway!
Posted: 1/13/07 at 4:58pmI think she's kind of hard to cast. She's too old to be Ado Annie. She's no Mame. She wouldn't sell enough tickets to play Dolly. I guess there is always Broadway Roxie, number 2375...

Posted: 1/13/07 at 7:36pmIn one of the few episodes I saw of her talk show she was interviewing Ken Davitian--of Borat fame--and he said he had auditioned to play Mr.Zhamir (sp?) in Will & Grace but that he really would've liked to play Stan Walker; Mullally said that if she does Karen, the musical on Broadway he'd be great for the part. I wonder if she is really pursuing that project, I personally don't think it's a good idea but who knows. I believe she should be part of an ensemble play/musical (something like First Wives Club ) instead of headlining a show by herself. I do hope she returns to Broadway though.

I love her. She needs to come back.

ray-andallthatjazz86 -- Megan was joking. Megan's humor is 99% mumbled asides, and that KAREN: The Musical bit was just that. She has not been or nor have there ever been any thoughts of actually doing a KAREN: The Musical. Ever.

I only saw the show twice so I am not knowledgeable on Mullally's humor, thanks for clearing that up though

Posted: 1/13/07 at 8:27pmYeah, she is going to london. she will be in ENO (English National Opera) production of 'Kismet' for 19 performances only, playing Lalume. Contract was signed a while ago!
#17re: Bring Megan Mullally to Broadway!
Posted: 1/13/07 at 8:31pmIf something happens and Tracey Ullman ends up not doing the full production of "9 to 5", Megan would be a perfect Violet Newstead.
I killed the boss, you don't think they're gonna fire me over a thing like that!!!!

Posted: 1/13/07 at 8:32pmLove me some Mullally, but can she vocally handle "Not Since Ninevah"?

Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

She did Rosemary in the "How to Succeed..." revival and Marty in "Grease."
I could see her as Mame. Wasn't she attached to a "First Wives Club" reading at one point?

Posted: 1/13/07 at 9:29pmI agree purpleprince101...for upcoming shows...what about "9 to 5", revival of "The Wiz" (Evilene?), or "The Little Mermaid" (the evil character)?

Posted: 1/13/07 at 9:29pmAC, I'm about 85% sure she could.
I have NEVER met Cheyenne Jackson. I have never hung out with him in his dressing room, he did not tweet me, he never bought me a beverage, and he mostly certainly didn't tickle me. . .that is all.
