Midway through her new cabaret show, Jane Lynch performs a faithful, though endearingly cheeky, version of Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda," alongside Tim Davis, veteran musical director of "Glee," and "The Office" star Kate Flannery.
Easily the night's most buzzed-about moment , the number encapsulates the self-effacing, vaudevillian feel of "See Jane Sing!," which opened for a four-night stint at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater in New York Aug. 16. Fresh off her six-season "Glee" run, Lynch is a hell of a lot of fun to watch. Any doubts about how the star's vocals would hold up in a live setting are quickly dispelled by the jovial, innuendo-laden number, "Slappin' the Cakes," and a whimsical, pitch-perfect take on Irving Berlin's "Mr. Monotomy," both of which were highlights.
