Harry Connick Jr. Question

Posted: 4/16/06 at 5:32pm

Does anyone know about what time Harry arrives at the theatre? I am going to a Sunday matinee of Pajama Game and I would really like to try and meet him before the show, if possible.

Thanks.

I think he sleeps at the theater on weekends (or he was doing that back in previews) so he is already there. Just wait for him after...he signs for everyone waiting after each performance.

Are you serious? Why would Harry sleep at the theatre? I thought he lived in the city.

I have no idea why he does it, but when I saw the show back in February, he came out of the stage door on Saturday night and then went back in. The car that was waiting outside the stage door was for Kelli O'Hara. The guy monitoring the PJGame stage door told me that Harry stayed in the American Airlines overnight. Maybe it is just easier for him to do this on weekends since he has a show Friday, two on Saturday and two on Sunday. Then he has Monday and Tuesday off.

(Most) People aren't allowed to sleep in their theaters overnight.

Does he take pictures after the show at the stage door?

And does Kelli O'Hara and Roz Ryan come out of the same stage door?

Those are the 3 star I want to meet the most.

He does not take pictures. Yes, Kelli and Roz both come out the 43rd street stage door...the same stage door that Harry comes out of.

"Most people can't sleep in their dressing room?"

Harry Connick IS the show. If he wanted to experiment with fissionable material in his spare time, the producers would probably honor his requests.

I would imagine he goes back home w/ his family in CT (his daughters go to the same school as me) at least every once in awhile. I mean theater life is amazing, but you can cross the line.

The Airlines does have several nice lounges that can be turned into rather nice bedrooms...

I think that you should give him space when stagedooring if you do. I He might go home, I mean, we don't know his life or anything. Let's hope he wins a Tony. He better!
That is, WHEN he gets nominated.

Yankeefan I loved the way you put that. I can't believe they let him, but he does it. There have been several sleepovers at the theatre. And not just Harry!

only Harry, Kelli and Roz come out the 43rd street stage door. everyone else comes out the other side.

i'm not sure if Kelli takes pics, but Harry defnitely does not.

I am pretty sure Kelli has learned to take pictures.

She's an actress, not a defunct human being.

I know she was happy to take pictures with everyone after LITP performances, but the Roundabout policy may not allow her to take pics after PJGame. i'm really not sure. just ask though. i'm sure she'll be extremely nice about it either way.

Thanks for actually my questions, Trace.

I am excited to meet Kelli, I never met her after LITP.

When I saw it this past Wednesday night, Kelli came out, was very nice about taking pictures, then went back inside. As for Harry, we were told that taking pictures OF him was not allowed...why is that? I would understand not taking pictures with him, but why not of him?
