As the curtain comes down on The Pajama Game, Broadway's hottest leading man gets ready for his next act Harry Connick Jr. has plenty to sing about. On June 11, the three-time Grammy winner-who just released his new double CD Harry on Broadway, Act I-could take home a Tony Award for his role as sexy Sid in The Pajama Game. The Big Easy-born musician, 38, takes a brief intermission with Scoop to discuss life on the stage, his final show, and how he got those well-reviewed pecs: How did you hear about your Tony nomination?I was listening to the radio [and] I was blown away. I didn't [have time to] celebrate. But I'm gonna buy myself a drink one of these nights! You wrap up your run on June 17. Had any big onstage bloopers?Every night there is some kind of mishap. Either I'm screwing up a line or forgetting a dance move or a lyric. But it's a tremendous amount of fun. The New York Post declared, "All of Broadway is talking about the Chest." What's your workout secret?I've never [gone shirtless] before. If you're going to do it, I felt like I should try to get in shape. So I got on the treadmill and lifted some weights. I probably lost 25 lbs. I'm stronger and lighter on my feet. Between music, movies and, until recently, Will & Grace, you're quite the multitasker.I get that from my parents. You have one shot at your life. I just want to push it as hard as I can. What will you do when the show is over?First, I'll take my kids [Georgia, 10, Sara, 8, and Charlotte, 3, with wife Jill Goodacre] to school. Then I'll sleep for 30 days and 30 nights. Do your daughters have the performing bug?They're always dancing around the house to whatever's on the radio. They've seen the show about 25 times. They think it's the coolest thing ever. I'm enjoying that while it lasts. I know it won't forever. PHOTO (COLOR) ~~~~~~~~ Scoop Contributors Olivia Abel; Rennie Dyball; Beth Perry; Charlotte Triggs; K. C.
