So says Mike Fleming of Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood - link below.
Lips Together, Mullally Departs?

Posted: 3/23/10 at 7:36pmJust saw this, what a shame, I'm surprised to hear that it had to do with Mantello. I was hoping to catch her in this during the summer, it's always nice when she comes back to do stage work.

Posted: 3/23/10 at 7:39pmThis just got significantly less interesting. I wonder who they replace her with. Maybe it'll be someone better?

This makes no sense... There is only a little over 2 weeks til it starts. I think she would have pulled out earlier if she was having problems with him...
Also, if this is true, it would suck because I really was looking forward to seeing her on stage, and the only reason I bought a ticket.

Posted: 3/23/10 at 7:42pmI hope this isn't true, she was the only reason I was going to see this show.

Posted: 3/23/10 at 8:34pmGlad I only paid $10 then. But this sucks.

Isn't Joe Mantello known for being confrontational with his actors...? I didn't think this was a new tidbit of info.
I really hope this isn't true. I was really, really looking forward to Mullally's performance.

I always figured Mantello was known for letting his stars do whatever the hell they wanted.

#11Mullally to exit LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART?
Posted: 3/23/10 at 9:18pmYeah, I'm with yankeefan. Based on his past productions with name actors... they seem to just do whatever they want.
#12Mullally to exit LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART?
Posted: 3/23/10 at 9:42pmNooooo!! This is the only reason I got tix. They better offer a refund.
#13Mullally to exit LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART?
Posted: 3/23/10 at 10:03pmThe question is, why is Joe Mantello still being allowed to direct anything?

I think it is fabulous! Now she can spend more time singing on a vat of butter and working on "Karen:The Musical!"

Posted: 3/23/10 at 10:19pmI was/am pretty excited to see Patton Oswalt's stage debut, but this certainly throws a wrench into things if it's true...

Posted: 3/23/10 at 11:03pmThank God for those $10 tickets! Although, come to think of it, what kind of shape is this show going to be in previews given this situation? Yikes...
#17Mullally to exit LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART?
Posted: 3/23/10 at 11:19pmSo happy I only paid $10 for this. A lot of people are going to be VERY disappointed. I wonder if they will try to get another big name for this show.
#18Mullally to exit LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART?
Posted: 3/23/10 at 11:23pmWell I'm glad I didn'tget tickets
#19Mullally to exit LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART?
Posted: 3/24/10 at 12:46pmThis upsets me, it seems very unprofessional of hers. She knows that most people bought tickets to see her in it.

Posted: 3/24/10 at 1:40pmOh, does she? Most people actually bought tickets because it's a Roundabout subscriber show. People will see it no matter if it's Megan Mullally or Understudy #4.

Most of the people in this thread disagree with your statement. Didn't you read how many people are saying they have no interest in seeing the play w/o her?

This thread alone hardly represents all the people who will be seeing the show.
A great many Roundabout subscribers aren't a) on the message boards b) pay attention to theater gossip c) even know who's in what. I was at a performance of WAITING FOR GODOT last year where a subscriber asked the ticket taker "What do you mean we're not seeing DANCIN'?"

OMG Sueleen, you're right. Isn't it going to be hysterical to hear Karen say "Eff youuuuuuuuuuu!" because she couldn't on Will & Grace.
I'm glad Karen left the McNally play if that's what comes of this.
