Harry Connick, Jr.
Durham Performing Arts Center 123 Vivian St, Durham, North Carolina 27701
Grammy and Emmy-award winning musican Harry Connick Jr. has sold more than a million albums. Now, the fifty-two-year-old jazz singer and pianist sets his sights on the catalog of the prolific composer Cole Porter, who died in 1964, and whose swoony hits include “Let’s Do It (Let’s Fall in Love),” “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” and “I Get a Kick Out of You,” among many others. The world premiere of a pre-Broadway version of Harry Connick Jr.—A Celebration of Cole Porter will take place at DPAC, and will feature a multimedia presentation of Porter’s work, with scenic design by Beowulf Boritt and Alex Bistler.
