Jane Krakowski would be willing to transfer to Broadway with Damn Yankees!

Great interview here

Krakowski: It would depend on when it ran. I would love to be able to try because it's such a great part. If I could do "30 Rock" in the day and dance my butt off in Damn Yankees at night, that would be really fun, if it happens. I would love to try if we are lucky enough for that to happen.

She seems very sweet, humble, and down to earth.

She gets to do NO Broadway show until she brings in Guys & Dolls after that she can do what she wants.

I'm not sure this is even possible, I thought the reason she wasn't doing GUYS & DOLLS was because of her 30 ROCK schedule. Then again, lately she seems to be getting so little screen time that she might be able to do both. I would love for it to happen.
Ljay, you're so right, she does come off as really sweet and humble. I particularly love the respect she seems to have for Gwen Verdon, Fosse, and the material itself. It's so funny how she goes "we're not trying to update it, making it darker, we're just doing the show." It's somewhat refreshing, especially for a show like DAMN YANKEES that really doesn't need to be tempered with.
How neat would it be if the show actually transferred with her as Lola? That would be all kinds of awesome.

Nitwit - I'm sick of your posting HAWT, HAWT, HAWT on every thread. Do you care about anything else other than naked men & sex??? There ARE other websites for that you know!
PS: Your name fits you perfectly!

I really wish I could see this show when I come to the city in August, but I know it won't be running then. Oh how I wish it would extend...

---

I personally think they should do it. I mean if you offer that ensemble a broadway role do you think they are going to turn it down?

Alson nitwit, you mentioned how bad the 94 revival was, where you even old enough to see that show then?

To quote "Xanadu," true that.

If it did transfer, Jackson would have to leave Xanadu or the transfer would have to wait until his contract is over.

I adore Jane Krakowski! I do agree that do both 30 Rock and Damn Yankees might be a lot at once, but probably doable. I watch 30 Rock every week; and when it came back after the writers' strike, she was barely featured. She was even out of a couple of episodes. I think the only episode after the strike in which she had anything substantial was the season finale. It is too bad since she is one of my favorite characters on the show.

Yeah, she is barely featured in the show anymore. But I think apart from Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey, the rest of the characters all have their on/off periods.
Someone on here once told me that the issue with Krakowski committing to a Broadway run while doing 30 ROCK is that the latter is a single-camera series which means they can spend hours upon hours shooting certain scenes, and the shooting schedule is rather irregular.
I guess if Krakowski herself says it's possible then it must be.
And for those worried about Cheyenne and XANADU, Encores! shows take a bit to transfer so no need to flip out.

Jane Krakowski is such a doll - so down to earth. I recently got my hands on the complete series of Ally McBeal, an only favorite of mine, and I've been watching it. I'd forgotten how great she was on that show. So talented.

Would love to see this transfer.

One of the first Broadway shows that I saw was "Starlight Express" in July of 1988. Jane Krokowski was in it, and she was absolutely stunning! She's so beautiful!

Would love it if this transfered. And doesn't Cheyenne's contract run out soon(August sometime??)?? They could have this open in March sometime.
