Fran Drescher. The nasal sound. The Queens speech. The high-pitched giggle. The screech. “The Nanny,” in her Broadway debut, is a replacement, playing the evil, mean, nasty, ratty, lousy, wicked Stepmother in “Cinderella.”

“A big Broadway musical is finally off my bucket list,” she says in a nice, normal voice. “In the show I speak with a little bit of affectation, but at one point I throw my famous ‘Nanny’ laugh and say ‘Huh?’ in that old nasal twang and everybody laughs.

“Opening night for me, I was scared I wouldn’t remember the lines. I dropped one but didn’t blow any. Now I’m more confident. I’ve made it my own. On TV, I produced, directed, starred, promoted, so I’m used to working hard hours. But I’ve learned to pace myself.

“A salad at home, arrive a half-hour before curtaintime, do my own makeup, which I always did on TV, add the wig and out I go. Then home right after. No going anywhere or any extra stuff besides the show. I only go out Sundays.

“Listen, they offered the job, I was available, and a musical was a great opportunity not to pass.”

She catch reruns of her series when they’re on TV?

“Occasionally. I’ve kept all the episodes. Y’know, sometimes, like right in the middle of it, I remember what was then going on in my life. And how much thinner I was. That’s what’s great about this show. Wardrobe. Big wigs and hoop skirts make my waist look smaller.”

Klitschko in Rocky’s corner

Hayden Panettiere’s future brother-in-law, former heavyweight champ Vitali Klitschko, is now Ukraine parliament member, Ukraine opposition party leader. Too busy to see B’way’s musical “Rocky.” But before his country’s horror, he spoke to me about Rocky Balboa:

“Stallone invited me as guest on his boxing films. His work very emotional. Much edited. Like our normal round is three minutes. In his movies much shorter. Done good.”

First fam perks

A New York reader writes me: “Both Obama girls visited Africa twice. Grandma, too. Michelle’s brother, too. It’s hard times now. Doesn’t look good. Hola magazine carped that Spanish royals had to interrupt their annual Majorca vacation to receive the White House posse. Reportedly, when criticized, Mrs. reported: ‘I want to take advantage of all our perks.’

“So, now, Air Force 1, 2, whatever, loaded with their kinfolk, are off to China. Maybe Shanghai has a show like ‘The View’ Mrs. Obummer can drop in on?”

Around town, like the 60s and 80s on Madison Avenue, exists the hip, trendy shoe-store chain Chuckies. Its custom-made shopping bags blare the logo, which it chooses to make famous. Also, in big, bold letters, it lists our city’s name, which civilization knows is famous. In large block print these shopping bags read: “Chuckie’s in F - - king New York.”

Only in New York, kids, only in New York.
