Will, Grace, Jack and Karen are almost home.
NBC released the first trailer for the “Will & Grace” revival on Monday, which shows the foursome breaking into a dramatic musical number in anticipation of the fall premiere.
In the video, Debra Messing is hesitant to return to the show after so long. Eric McCormack decides to give Messing a tour of the set to remind her of all the great memories. The pair bump into Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes, who aren’t as self-aware as Messing and McCormack, and don’t realize Jack and Karen are characters in a sitcom.
Messing remembers everything she loved about the show and the four break into a rendition of “As If We Never Said Goodbye” from “Sunset Boulevard” to announce the show will be coming back Thursdays this fall at 8 p.m. for a 12-episode run. NBC’s hit drama “This is Us” will air afterward.
Watch Messing, McCormack, Mullally and Hayes reunite below.

Blade Summer Kickoff Party returns to Rehoboth
Politicians slated to speak at annual Blue Moon party
The Washington Blade’s 17th annual Summer Kickoff Party returns Friday, May 17, 5-7 p.m. at the Blue Moon (35 Baltimore Ave.) in Rehoboth Beach, Del.
It’s an exciting election year in Delaware, which is poised to elect its first Black woman senator (Lisa Blunt Rochester) and the nation’s first transgender member of Congress (Sarah McBride).
McBride is scheduled to speak at the party along with several politicos from the area. With the retirement of longtime state Rep. Peter C. Schwartzkopf, a staunch LGBTQ ally, three strong contenders are running to replace him. All three — Marty Rendon, Kathy McGuiness, and Claire Snyder-Hall — are slated to speak at the party. A representative from Blunt Rochester’s campaign is scheduled to speak, along with Kim Leisey, the new executive director of CAMP Rehoboth.
Tax-deductible tickets are $20 and available on Eventbrite or via the Blade’s Facebook page. The party is sponsored by Justin Noble of Sotheby’s, The Avenue Inn & Spa, and Blue Moon.

Cohen will be in conversation with Rep. Robert Garcia, who represents California and is the first LGBTQ immigrant to win a congressional seat. Rep. Garcia has also been known to quote from “The Real Housewives” in congressional hearings.
Tickets start at $12 and can be purchased on Eventbrite.
