Anyone else have mucho love for Ms. Krakowski? She was stunning in Grand Hotel and Nine, and I love her "Barcelona" in the Company revival (the closest anyone has gotten to Browning's unbeatable delivery) and is quite charming on the Mattress recording. I cannot wait for Xanadu (crossing fingers it happens this spring), when we will once again have Jane where she belongs. She is such an amazing triple threat

Posted: 1/31/07 at 5:24pmMy sister saw her in Guys and Dolls in London and said she was stunning. I've always wanted to see her live, so here's hoping a project brings her to NYC soon.

She was, by far, the highlight of 9. I've seen a lot of great entrances but her flying-in thing was the best....and what she managed to do with a telephone cord?
And just hearing her deliver lines like "The Rural Juror's sequal is called The Urban Furvor" is priceless.
She was great on The View this morning.

Posted: 1/31/07 at 5:28pmShe's a goddess.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I saw her on The View too! She looked adorable :)
I love Ms. Krakowski...she's such a sweetheart.
"Now she wants to know WHY, if I'm so fabulous, I would WANT to take care of her child.....I answer with as much filigree and insouciance as I can muster, trying to slightly cock my head like Snow White listening to the animals. She, in turn, is aiming for more of a Diane-Sawyer-pose, looking for answers which will confirm that I am not there to steal her husband, jewelry, friends, or child. In that order."

Posted: 1/31/07 at 6:02pmIt seemed like Rosie was trying to lead her into it, but nothin'. Rosie kept saying "you really should come back to Broadway soon, come back to Broadway, etc..."

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.

Posted: 1/31/07 at 6:35pmHAHA When she was on The View this morning, Rosie was totally prying...I think after they watched a short film clip of her, Rosie said, "Yes that's great although you're really a Broadway girl, right?" and Jane was like "Um yes...and so are you!!" (just tryyying to get the attention off of herself) It was kind of funny :)
