The events at the 92nd Street YMCA are great. It's so nice to get to see some of your favorite actors and musicians being so candid in an intimate venue. This event felt very personal and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Harry Connick, Jr. was very appreciative, humble and funny. It made me love him even more than I already did. I loved Jordan Roth's questions and the way he would dig a little deeper into certain topics without it being too gossipy. All-in-all, it was a great experience.Written on Feb 13 2012

Description
About Harry Connick, Jr.
Harry Connick, Jr. is among today’s most successful and multi-talented artists, who has garnered acclaim in both the music and acting arenas. He is no stranger to the New York theater scene. In addition to his starring role in the upcoming On A Clear Day You Can See Forever, he returned to Broadway during the summer of 2010 for 15 sold-out performances of Harry Connick, Jr. In Concert at the Neil Simon Theatre. His previous Broadway performances include the Tony-nominated turn as Sid Sorokin in the 2006 revival of The Pajama Game, which was hailed by New York Post critic Clive Barnes as “absolutely sensational” and “a Broadway debut of legendary proportions.” Connick had previously received a Tony nomination for Best Original Score in 2001 for Thou Shalt Not, directed by Susan Stroman, while his sold-out concert production Harry Connick, Jr. and His Orchestra - Live on Broadway was a highlight of the 1990 season.
His love of music and performing dates back to his childhood in New Orleans, where he studied piano with such luminaries as James Booker and Ellis Marsalis. He first performed publicly at age five, appeared on his first recording at age ten and released his self-titled major label debut for Columbia Records at 19, only a year after his high school graduation and his move to New York City. In the two decades since, he has released more than 20 albums, totaling more than 25 million in sales and has received numerous music honors, including three Grammy Awards.
He made his feature film acting debut in the World War II drama Memphis Belle. His acting credits also include Jodie Foster’s Little Man Tate; Jon Amiel’s Copycat; Independence Day, with Will Smith; Hope Floats, opposite Sandra Bullock; Mickey, written by John Grisham; William Friedkin’s Bug; Richard LaGravenese’s P.S. I Love You, with Hilary Swank; New in Town, opposite Renée Zellweger and 2011’s Dolphin Tale.
On the small screen, Connick starred in the ABC presentation of the musical South Pacific and played the recurring role of Grace’s love interest, Dr. Leo Markus, on the hit NBC series Will & Grace. In addition, he won Emmy Awards for the PBS Great Performances concert specials Harry Connick, Jr: Only You and most recently for Harry Connick, Jr. In Concert on Broadway.

The 92nd Street Y operates in the context of a history that spans over 130 years. Founded in 1874 as the Young Men's Hebrew Association where Jewish men could find harmony and good fellowship, the 92nd Street Y today has evolved into a world-renowned community and cultural center, an organization of exhilarating vitality and remarkable diversity, a proudly Jewish institution that reaches out to people of every race, ethnicity, religion, age and economic class.
