Harry Connick Jr. Talks Up On a Clear Day on Today

Harry Connick Jr. is one busy guy: In addition to playing eight shows a week as psychiatrist Mark Bruckner in the Broadway revival of On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, Connick is publicizing his new children’s book The Happy Elf. On December 5, the multitalented star stopped by Today to chat with co-host Ann Curry (who clearly needed coaching in pronouncing the name of Connick’s musical). The Broadway portion of the interview begins halfway in, and Connick graciously emphasizes the talent of his On a Clear Day co-stars, including newcomer Jessie Mueller, whom he calls “a crazy talent.” Click on, then see Harry in action at the St. James Theatre.
