Jane Krakowski Will Gladly Do the Splits for Your Entertainment
If you’re making a piece of entertainment and are looking to stop the show, a good bet is to have Jane Krakowski enter by descending from the rafters, while sexily—and perfectly—executing circus acrobatics.
That’s precisely how Krakowski begins her barn-burner of a number, “Bells and Whistles,” in the latest episode of Schmigadoon! There are seemingly no bells and whistles left for the Tony-winning star to pull out by the end of the episode. She swings on a trapeze, tap dances, roller skates, sings complicated lyrics at a speed that would impress Nicki Minaj, and, as the grand finale, does perfect splits.
“There’s very little I can’t do,” her character, Bobbie Flanagan, says earlier in the episode, foreshadowing the song-and-dance bonanza to come. “Besides bore people. Or look bad in any kind of suit.”
