The show that had critics raving and fans cheering will be available as a DVD, Live CD and Blu-ray disc. The show will also air on PBS on March 2nd as part of the national "Great Performances" series.

Twenty years after dazzling audiences in his first solo Broadway concert early in his career, three-time Grammy Award-winner Harry Connick, Jr. returned to the Main Stem in a roster of favorites, performed in his trademark New Orleans style.

Taped in July of 2010 at New York's Neil Simon Theater, Harry Connick, Jr. In Concert On Broadway features Connick's big band and a 12 piece string section, with the star on both a Steinway grand and upright honky-tonk piano. Variety raved, "Connick, in concert, packs such dynamite that those 'Jersey Boys' across the street seem positively sedate."

The program will air Wednesday, March 2 at 9:30 p.m. ET on Great Performances, which is a production of THIRTEEN for WNET, one of America's most prolific and respected public media partners. (In New York, THIRTEEN will air the program on Thursday, March 3 at 8 p.m., ET.)
Connick is no stranger to Great Performances. In 1990, the series produced and presented Connick's first primetime solo special Harry Connick Jr. and His Orchestra: Swinging Out With Harry, followed by 2004's Only You which garnered an Emmy.
