Megan Mullally was set to star in the Broadway revival of “Lips Together, Teeth Apart,” a Terrence McNally play. However, she quit the show this week causing the opening of previews to be postponed for the spring season. The Roundabout Theater Company announced the postponement on Thursday following Mullally’s decision to quit.

Megan Mullally, best known for playing Karen Walker on “Will and Grace,” abruptly quit the show. Frustration with the lack of experience from her co-star Patton Oswalt led to her departure from “Lips Together, Teeth Apart” on Wednesday.

In a statement, Roundabout Theater Company’s artistic director Todd Haimes said that they were “surprised and disappointed,”  and that it was a breach of contract. Her replacement will be named shortly, but since the show was supposed to start preview performances on April 9 the first preview will be delayed.

Although the first preview of the show will be delayed, Haimes did say that the opening date will remain on Thursday April 29, 2010. Other cast members for the show include Patton Oswalt, David Wilson Barnes, and lily Taylor.
