Roundabout postpones Broadway 'Lips Together'

[March 26, 2010]  NEW YORK (AP) -- The Roundabout Theatre Company has postponed its upcoming Broadway revival of Terrence McNally's "Lips Together, Teeth Apart" following the abrupt departure of Megan Mullally (MAY'-guhn muh-LAL'-ee) during rehearsals.

Roundabout artistic director Todd Haimes said Thursday the theater couldn't find a way to maintain the play's production schedule. He said the Roundabout was now "exploring options to produce a show for our subscribers as soon as possible."

McNally's comedy about two married couples sharing a Fourth of July weekend at a Fire Island beach house was to have started previews April 9 at the American Airlines Theatre and open April 29.
