The Broadway and TV actress knows full well the pitfalls of the format, and sprinkles her show with inspired reinventions, like \u201cDiamonds Are a Girl\u2019s Best Friend\u201d as a funk jam\/rap and 1940\u2019s \u201cZip\u201d turned ode to Twitter. Elsewhere, she unearths lesser-known gems from Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter and Jerome Kern, often astonishing in their modernity. As on <em>30 Rock<\/em>, Krakowski isn\u2019t afraid to put character first here, trusting her robust voice to shine without acrobatics or even a Broadway-belter ballad. That makes for an airtight comedy show, but as a recording, it\u2019s missing a bit of razzle-dazzle\u2014just enough to hope she soon makes her studio debut.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014Katie Dodd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JANE KRAKOWSKI The Laziest Gal in Town [DRG Records] \u201cI hate to use the C word this early in the evening \u2026 but welcome to my debut in cabaret,\u201d says Jane Krakowski on the live recording of her 2009 run at Feinstein\u2019s at Loews Regency in New York City.
