Career Retrospective with actor Jane Krakowski, moderated by Frank DiLella. Reception at Empire Steakhouse to follow.
JANE KRAKOWSKI is an award-winning triple threat actress most commonly known for her role as Jenna Maroney on NBC’s Emmy Award-winning “30 Rock.” She was honored with four Emmy nominations for her work on the show, as well as a collective Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. Currently, in a performance that critics have called “sensational,” “standout” and “a knockout spectacle,” Jane plays the showstopping Bobbie Flanagan in Apple’s musical series “Schmicago,” a much anticipated follow up to the critical and popular hit “Schmigadoon!” Jane is also the host of Seasons 1, 2 and 3 of FOX’s reboot of the classic game show, “Name That Tune.”
Other iconic television performances for Jane include her Golden Globe-nominated portrayal of Elaine Vassal on the multi-Award-winning “Ally McBeal,” her Critics’ Choice winning, Emmy nominated Jacqueline White in Netflix’s “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” Mrs. Dickinson in Apple’s hit series “Dickinson,” Miss Shields in FOX’s A Christmas Story LIVE film as well as guest stars on “Modern Family,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “At Home with Amy Sedaris,” “The Simpsons,” “American Dad,” “Drunk History,” “Younger” and even “Sesame Street.”
Jane starred on Broadway in the Roundabout Theater Company’s production of She Loves Me (Outer Critics Circle Award, Astaire Award, Drama Desk Award and Tony nomination). She earned a Tony Award, a Drama Desk Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award for her portrayal of Carla in the Broadway musical Nine and a Tony nomination for Grand Hotel. Other Broadway credits include Company, Once Upon a Mattress, Tartuffe, and Starlight Express. She won an Olivier Award while starring in Guys and Dolls in London’s West End and starred in the Encores! revival of Damn Yankees as well as Mrs. Potts in the Hollywood Bowl’s production of Beauty and the Beast. Krakowski released her solo debut album, “The Laziest Gal in Town,” a CD recording captured during her cabaret nightclub debut at the Park Avenue hotspot, Feinstein’s at Loews Regency. She performed a one- woman cabaret act to a sold-out crowd at NYC’s legendary Town Hall Theater.
