Is there on-stage chemistry between Henson and Connick Jr.?
“Taraji P. Hannigan is seductive as Taraji. She’s such a powerful presence in the most wonderful way,” Connick Jr. said during E! News’ Daily Pop on Nov. 29. “Being seduced by Miss Hannigan maybe isn’t quite as pleasant as being seduced— potentially—by Taraji P. Henson but she’s so good at it, I think people are going to love it.”
