She would be amazing as Queenie in LaChiusa's WILD PARTY. I love the idea of her playing the Nicole Kidman role in the musical adaptation of the story that TO DIE FOR is based on, seems like that never went anywhere.
But truly, she was born to play Dot in SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE, a role that she has said before she'd love to play. I know everyone hates revivals that come around every 5 years but the last revival of GUYS & DOLLS was so awful in every way, and Krakowski is so perfect for Adelaide that they should just revive the show just for her. And I couldn't agree more with the MAME suggestion, she's someone who's a name and is right for the role, throw in Megan Mullally as Vera and you'd have a great revival of that show.
EDIT: Not to go through the entire Peters' repertoire, but I am listening to SONG & DANCE right now and cannot help but imagine how fantastic Krakowski would be as Emma (isn't she engaged to a British guy? She could hopefully pick up the accent from him...and the other British men she has dated). Some of the keys would have to be lowered, of course, and I doubt her voice could handle doing the show 8 times a week, but as a one-night only or weekend engagement at City Center or Carnegie Hall she'd be absolutely rocking. I love her TV performances so much, she's one of my favorite actresses, but how I wish she had been able to do more stage in-between her TV commitments, there are so many roles that I feel she'd have played wonderfully throughout those years.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
