TV Series World

The cast of the long-running hit television comedy "Frasier" could reunite, but on the stage rather than the small screen,
David Hyde Pierce, an actor who starred in the show, said.
Pierce, who is starring in a new Broadway musical "Curtains," told Reuters late on Thursday he had met other members of the cast recently while they were in New York. They included
Kelsey Grammer, who played psychiatrist Dr. Frasier Crane, and
John Mahoney, who played his father, retired policeman Martin Crane.

"Absolutely, we talked about it," the 47-year-old actor said in an interview. "We got together and had breakfast and all we talked about is what plays we might do together."

Mahoney has returned to Broadway after a 20-year absence to appear in the play "Prelude to a Kiss" and Grammer recently starred in a concert version of "My Fair Lady" staged by the New York Philharmonic.

Pierce, who played Frasier's brother Niles, said any reunion would likely be a play rather than a musical.

"We were only talking about plays because we are all getting on in years and there is only so much dancing you can do."

The Emmy Award-winning show, which ran from 1993 to 2005, was shown in countries around the world and continues to appear in syndication.
