Karen Walker Was Almost On Broadway!
Beverly Leslie aka Leslie Jordan told Queerty that Megan Mullally was working on plans to bring her infamous alter ego Karen Walker to Broadway “Karen: The Musical”, but NBC Stopped it.
“She had an idea for it, but was hesitant to tell me because she knows I have a big mouth. She said, “I have this idea and it’s just you and me.” I said, “Honey, have you got permission?” She was very serious about it and had cleared it. She was about to hire someone to write the book and the music when NBC told her, “We aren’t saying ‘no,’ we’re saying, ‘not now.’”

‘The reason was they were in negotiations for one more round of syndication rights and they couldn’t have us out there messing around with the brand. They were nice, but she was really upset about it. She had gotten permission from [Will & Grace creators] David Kohan and Max Mutchnick. They told her to go have fun and wished her the best.’

Leslie Jordan on Filming 'American Horror Story: Coven' in New Orleans
It makes perfect sense that you’re playing a member of the witch’s council on American Horror Story: Coven. Is that cast having as much fun as it appears?
Oh my God! I could just sit there and watch Jessica Lange and Frances Conroy go at it. It’s like Emmys are flying through the air. What happens is I get so involved watching the two of them that I forget to say my lines. They’d say, “Leslie, say your lines!” I was just so enthralled.
Will your character continue through the rest of the season?
I hope so. I’m sure Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates get the full scripts, but I only get my day’s scenes. So it’s almost like trying to piece together a puzzle. I have no idea what happened to the character the day before. I have no idea what will happen tomorrow. I count myself honored and lucky to be a part of the show. It’s an open love letter to the city of New Orleans and its lore.
