Megan Mullally is in London this week performing.  The  actress, talk-show host, best  known as the high-voiced matini-drinking socialite Karen in the  sitcom Will and Grace, she has been a singer most of her career.

If you have ever heard Megan sing or saw her on the stage, she is really  nothing  like  KAREN!  People miss  Karen.  Last  fall, in an interview with Metrosource, she  said  Karen might just be coming back!  According to Megan Mullally, it would be in the form of KAREN: THE MUSICAL. 

The actress revealed: "I had this idea probably - gosh, what year is this? 2009 - I probably had this idea around 2005 and I was just like, "Oh, my God." And I just had it all in like a flash. So I have some people I've been collaborating with and I can't really - I have a great composer and I think we're going to get a great director and a great book writer and the idea for it is HILARIOUS.
 
It's basically Karen decides for a variety of hilarious reasons to do a Broadway show called "Karen: The Musical." That's the general premise of it right now. It could change, but the general premise is not going to change that much. It will probably involve the Beverly Leslie character too. Leslie Jordan, who played Beverly Leslie, has quite a bit of stage experience. He's done one-man shows forever and he's hilarious and great on stage. We're just trying to work on it right now and I think it's going to be really exciting."

In London this week she said, "I think the point is to make it just as absolutely ridiculous as possible, just to make it the stupidest thing you've ever seen, and then I would be very happy, yeah," she said. Megan  is looking to bring Leslie Jordan back as Beverley Leslie. "It's going to be Karen and Beverley Leslie, her arch-nemesis. The two of them together, in a bitter fight to the death," she added.

Megan  hopes to premiere Karen in Los Angeles followed by limited runs in New York and elsewhere.
