NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—During what was the highest-grossing performance ever in State Theatre history, Harry Connick Jr. and his band of ten musicians fired up the stage and kept Mardi Gras alive.
The evening was lively and playful, as Connick danced and engaged in banter with audience members.
The February 22 show coincided with the 2015 Academy Awards, but that didn't stop the sold-out crowd of about 1,800 from packing the house.
