Is Sean Hayes "virile enough" to play romantic lead opposite Anne Hathaway?

In his Broadway Matinee column, Post writer Michael Riedel mentions that Burt Bacharach's musical romp Promises, Promises is heading to workshop for a possible return to Broadway. He then mentions that Will & Grace star Sean Hayes will be playing the romantic lead opposite Anne Hathaway, and questions whether Hayes is "virile" enough to pull off a role originated by Jerry Orbach, who could crush buildings with his bare thighs.
First off, are people excited about seeing a possible revival of this show? And notwithstanding the fact that Sean Hayes is apparently far too limp-wristed to even pick up a songbook, do we think he could stand up to the role? Or could Anne Hathaway, for that matter?
Honestly, if professionally gay straight actor Rogert Bart can turn in a horrifyingly hetero role in Hostel 2 after playing an assortment of swishy queens both on stage and on screen, I think perhaps Broadway audiences might be able to forget about Jack McFarlane long enough for Hayes to do his job, don't you? Or do you agree that Hayes is miscast?
And yes, I'm totally linking to the "Turkey Lurkey Time" scene from Camp.
