FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Harry Connick, Jr. - A Celebration of Cole Porter

HARRY CONNICK JR.: CELEBRATING COLE PORTER WITH BRASS AND MULTIMEDIA
8 / 10

At base, we have Harry Connick Jr. singing fourteen or so songs by Cole Porter. Given Connick's way with a tune, his nimble pianistics, and his expert arranging skills, the show-a tour promoting his newest album, True Love: A Celebration of Cole Porter-more or less describes itself. Yes, Connick will be swinging along to a high-octane band, concentrating on the music and lyrics of the unlikely songsmith from Peru, Indiana. Rather than simply standing up there and singing the songs, though, Connick has gone out of his way to provide not only a Porter concert but a bells-and-whistles show. And it's a dandy one.

HARRY CONNICK JR.: A CELEBRATION OF COLE PORTER WHERE ANYTHING GOES
8 / 10

Now, don't expect the affable Connick to just plop down at the piano and sing. He certainly plays-at a grand piano and, at one point, on a variety of uprights. But at this point in his career, Connick is as much a performer as he is a musician-albeit one who did all the arrangements and orchestrations for every song in this show, thank you very much. And this certainly isn't his first Broadway rodeo. (Counting his two previous concert stints, in 1990 and 2010, it's his fifth; I'm not including 2001's Thou Shalt Not, for which he wrote the music and lyrics but in which he didn't star.) The man who headlined The Pajama Game and On a Clear Day You Can See Forever is going to bring a little personality to the proceedings-particularly if he's crooning moody numbers such as 'Love for Sale,' where he's accompanied beautifully by bassist Neal Caine, and 'Mind If I Make Love to You?' Connick calls the latter-originated by Frank Sinatra in the 1956 film of High Society-his favorite Porter song.
