Thanks for mentioning her spectacular turn in "Grand Hotel," BobbyBubby, most people tend to neglect her role as Flaemmchen. Her "I Want to Go to Hollywood" and "Who Couldn't Dance With You?" are both priceless. It's also great to see how her vocals have improved from that show to Nine (she has spoken about how hard she worked to add a few otaves to her range, she also said Maury Yeston cried after she auditioned for him to play Carla because she had come such a long way in terms of her technique, range, etc.) I wish she recorded a solo album. It's sad to know that she played Miss Adelaide and we did not get a cast recording featuring her "Adelaide's Lament" or her stripping numbers like "Take Back Your Mink."
I love her in 30 Rock, her facial expressions are priceless. And yes, the Rural Juror episode is by far my favorite, she has such chemistry with Tina Fey.
I do hope she returns to Broadway. Perhaps she'll make Xanadu a success.
