  • Nathan and Christine Baranski were terrific together 20 years ago in “Lips Together, Teeth Apart”.

    Hoping for a musical number at the Holiday Party with Nathan, Christine, Kristin and Alan Cumming

  • Great casting! And great idea for a character. I’ve worked in law firms and everyone usually does dislike the “evil administrator.” Wonderful – love the show already, and love Nathan Lane!

  • It’s not that the show is “gay”. It’s just that all the male characters have feminine features to balance out the strong female characters.

      • Peter — butch city
        Will — the kind of guy who gets a mani and pedi
        Cary — purdy; like, he could do drag
        Julius — somewhat prissy in that British sort of way
        Zach — comes out of the closet this season
        David — total flamer
