The small screen just got a whole lot steamier thanks to The Playboy Club's Laura Benanti. On September 19, the Tony-winning actress (and recent Playboy cover model!) kicked off the much-anticipated NBC series by taking to the stage of the famed nightclub to perform the classic tunes "Chicago" and "Sh-Boom." The show's central story line—new Bunny Maureen (Amber Heard) accidentally killing a famous mobster in self-defense—gets set up early in the episode, with Benanti belting in the background as original Bunny Carol-Lynne. Benanti not only "mentors" (i.e. bosses) the younger girls at the club, but gets to show off her pipes. Here's hoping she takes the stage every week! Take a look at The Playboy Club's opening scene below.
