Lili Taylor Joins Megan Mullally and Patton Oswalt in Lips Together, Teeth Apart

Lili Taylor has been confirmed to star opposite Megan Mullally and Patton Oswalt in Roundabout Theatre Company's previously announced Broadway production of Terrence McNally's Lips Together, Teeth Apart. The comedy, directed by Joe Mantello, begins performances at the American Airlines Theatre on April 9, with opening night set for April 29. The limited engagement plays through June 20.

Lips Together, Teeth Apart takes place on the elegant deck of a beach house on Fire Island. A brother and sister and their respective spouses attempt to celebrate the Fourth of July with a gnawing uncertainty that makes their affluent habits and petty prejudices sizzle in the summer sun. Mullally has been cast as Chloe Haddock and Oswalt will play Sam Truman, with Taylor costarring as Sally Truman. Casting for the role of John Haddock has not been announced at this time.

Lips Together, Teeth Apart was a long-running hit for Manhattan Theatre Club, where it opened at City Center Stage I on May 28, 1991, with Nathan Lane as Sam, Swoosie Kurtz as Sally, Christine Baranski as Chloe and Anthony Heald as John. The play ran for 250 performances, then reopened on January 9, 1992, at the Lucille Lortel Theatre where it ran for another six months starring Heald, Hillary Bailey Smith, Roxanne Hart and Jonathan Hadary.

Taylor made her Broadway debut in Three Sisters. Off-Broadway, she has been seen in Aunt Dan & Lemon, The Dead Eye Boy, Landscape of the Body, Mourning Becomes Electra and Aven'U Boys. A regular on the big and small screen, Taylor's credits include the recent Public Enemies, Starting Out in the Evening, The Promotion, The Secret, The Notorious Bettie Page, Slipping Down Life, Live From Baghdad, High Fidelity, Say Anything, Mystic Pizza and Arizona Dream, as well as a long arc on the HBO series Six Feet Under.
