Multi-talented artist Connick sits down with local media to talk about working with the Pennsylvania Youth Theatre on its next musical.
Anyone who is familiar with Harry Connick Jr. knows he is a multi-talented man – singer, jazz pianist, composer, conductor/big band leader, actor of stage and screen – both big and small.
