lol I am confused lol, where is this going to be?
p.s. I love Debra Messing! I think she contributes so much to the greatness of 'Will & Grace', which just so happens to be the best show ever! I would like to see her do this role, it is so different from what we see her do, it would be a good change!

I heard Gwyneth Paltrow was going to play Tracy.
Hey, I love Debra Messing, and I'll definitely travel to London to see her and Kevin Spacey in this revival.

Posted: 2/1/05 at 1:42pmGwyneth Paltrow was just one of many many A list names (in terms of star quality and talent) that have been bandied around for this production. So it's quite a drop to get to Ms. Messing.

Posted: 2/1/05 at 1:43pmThen again, nobody seems to expect much for Ms. Messing, so she could just come out of nowhere and blow everybody away.

I'm a fan of Messing's. People seem prone to make comparisons to Lucille Ball, no doubt because of the red hair and some of the broad slap-stick on W & G. When she tones it down a bit, or when she is playing the straight man, she reminds me much more strongly of the fabulous Myrna Loy--there's a smart, coy quality to her face that I find really appealing.
All that aside, I would no sooner cast her as Tracey Lord than I would Myrna Loy--I think there's too much infectious humor inherent in both of their styles to play the magnificently haughty Main Line debutante.
It may be interesting and it may be fun, but I don't think it will be Right.
