Jane Krakowski sings "A Trip to the Library and while the set seems a bit a simple throughout the show, especially this number, (the bedroom scene with the number "Vanilla Ice Cream" seemed lazy in its preparation especially the small little Chinese food takeout that was supposed to be the 'ice cream) the manner of dress keeps in harmony with the rest of the scenes and keeps that 'Old Hollywood' feel.
