BIO

Jane Krakowski played Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh, Mary! on Broadway. She is an award-winning triple threat actress best known for her role as ‘Jenna Maroney’ on the Emmy Award-winning network comedy “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. In addition to hosting FOX’s reboot of the classic game show “Name That Tune,” she was most recently seen in “Elsbeth” and as the showstopping Bobbie Flanagan in Apple’s musical series “Schmicago,” a follow up to the critical and popular hit “Schmigadoon!” in which she also starred. Other iconic performances include her Golden Globe-nominated portrayal of Elaine Vassal on the award-winning “Ally McBeal”; her Critics Choice Award-winning, Emmy-nominated role of Jacqueline White on “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”; Mrs. Dickinson in Apple’s hit series “Dickinson”; and Miss Shields on FOX’s “A Christmas Story LIVE,” as well as guest-starring roles on “Modern Family,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “At Home with Amy Sedaris,” “The Simpsons,” “American Dad,” “Drunk History,” “Younger” and even “Sesame Street.” Most recently Jane took to the stage in London’s West End production of Here We Are at The National Theatre and in MCC’s Shit. Meet. Fan. She 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 the West End and starred in the Encores! revival of Damn Yankees. She also played the role of 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, and performed a one-woman cabaret act to a sold-out crowd at NYC’s legendary Town Hall Theater.
