Love blooms in unexpected places in the delightful, newly imagined world of ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER. Still in love with his deceased wife, Dr. Mark Bruckner (Harry Connick, Jr.), a dashing psychiatrist and professor, unknowingly takes on the case of his life with David Gamble, a quirky young florists' assistant. While putting David under hypnosis to help him quit smoking so he can move in with his perfect boyfriend Warren, Dr. Bruckner stumbles upon what he believes to be David's former self - a dazzling and self-possessed 1940's jazz singer Melinda Wells. Instantly intrigued by Melinda, Dr. Bruckner finds himself swept up in the pursuit of an irresistible (and impossible) love affair with this woman from another time and place, who may or may not have ever existed. Michael Mayer and Peter Parnell's enchanting new version celebrates much of the beloved score from the 1965 musical including the classic hits "Come Back To Me," "What Did I Have That I Don't Have Now?," "She Isn't You," and the titular "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever," while adding songs from the film score such as "Love With All The Trimmings," and "Go To Sleep." Songs from the Lerner and Lane score for the film Royal Wedding such as "Ev'ry Night At Seven," "You're All The World To Me," "Open Your Eyes" and "Too Late Now" complete the landscape for this romantic musical comedy. This production of ON A CLEAR DAY makes the case for living life with your eyes, and heart, wide open. |

Harry Connick, Jr.
(official website)
as Dr. Mark Bruckner
Over the past two decades, Harry Connick, Jr. has proven to be among the world’s most successful and multi-talented artists. He returns to Broadway in ON A CLEAR DAY YOU CAN SEE FOREVER following the sold-out, critically acclaimed 2010 run of Harry Connick, Jr. in Concert on Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre. The show, which also aired on PBS as part of the national Great Performances series, earned Connick a 2011 Emmy®. Previous successes on Broadway include the sold-out concert series at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in 1990, Tony® nominations for his performance in The Pajama Game and for his music and lyrics in Thou Shalt Not. Raised in New Orleans, Connick first performed publicly at age five, appeared on his first jazz recording at age 9 and released his self-titled major-label debut on Columbia Records at 19. Since then he has recorded 24 albums garnering sales of over 25 million albums and earning him three Grammy Awards®. Connick has acted in 20 films, most recently alongside Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd in Dolphin Tale which reached #1 at the box office. He has contributed music for several films, including When Harry Met Sally and has earned several television credits including a recurring role on Will & Grace. Connick is a man of many talents, his book The Happy Elf will be released by Harper-Collins during the 2011 holiday season, marking his debut as a children’s book author. |
