Harry Connick, Jr. has done a lot in his 44 years, but lately his interests have taken a turn for the dramatic. I’m talking, of course, about his Broadway show “On a Clear Day You Can See Forever.”
The Grammy and Emmy Award-winning star plays Dr. Mark Bruckner, a widowed psychiatrist who falls in love with a past life of one of his patients. In addition to an impossible love triangle, the play also deals with difficult questions of sexuality.
“Man, this is so different. It’s by far the most intricate character I’ve had to play. Definitely the most emotionally demanding thing I’ve ever had to do on stage,” Connick said in a pollstar.com interview.
This is by no means Connick Jr’s first time on Broadway. He also starred in the 2006 production “The Pajama Game” and is currently working on a children’s musical “The Happy Elf” about an elf who does his best to convert a town of scrooges.
Stay tuned for updates on Harry Connick Jr. tickets, albums and productions.

Harry Connick, Jr., was appearing as a celebrity judge on an Australian TV variety show when the controversial skit of a Michael Jackson impersonator with blackface back up singers appeared. The act was gonged by another judge, but Connick expressed his dismay publicly and then later to the media.
Connick remarked,” I just want to say, on behalf of my country, I know it was done humorously, but we’ve spent so much time trying to not make black people look like buffoons, that when we see something like that we take it really to heart.”
Feedback to the performance was mixed between outrage and “what’s the big deal?” But Connick stood by his reaction and comments, noting he did the right thing.
