Jane Krakowski Avi

Jane Krakowski Avi Quote: I saw the original production as well. I was, like, 12 years old and I didn't get it. I mean, I loved all the show-stoppers and I remember the pageantry and the beauty of it, the style of it, but I didn't recall the depth that it goes into in Act II. I guess it wasn't relevant to my life then, but it certainly has become relevant now that I'm an adult. Carla is really quite fleshed out for a musical theater character; you get to see many sides of her, and I think that's rare. I feel so lucky to have gotten to play her, especially under the direction of David Leveaux. His vision from day one was so extremely different than the original that he kind of took away the fear of taking on a part that was done so brilliantly the first time by Anita Morris. I felt like I had a bit more leeway because I knew that, from the very first note of the show, the audience would realize they were entering a completely different world. ENTER HERE
