The next big star might be the girl next door. Singer Kelli O'Hara is on the verge of a breakthrough in 2008. Wonder In The World combines pop music and unexpected covers with original songs and familiar favorites, to create a 14-track collection celebrating the diversity of the American Songbook. With three new songs written/arranged by Harry Connick, Jr. (as well as a duet with him on the title track), Wonder In The World showcases O'Hara's vocal range, as she bridges the gap between contemporary music and beloved standards.

Connick and O'Hara met when she joined the cast of the 2006 Tony Award-winning production of The Pajama Game, for which she received Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Award nominations. The critical and commercial success of The Pajama Game followed on the heels of O'Hara's run in The Light In The Piazza, for which she earned her first Tony and Drama Desk Award nominations in 2005.

Kelli O'Hara is a double-threat: a real-deal singer, with dreams of presenting a U.S. solo tour celebrating the American Songbook and contemporary favorites. She is also a Broadway star on the rise, riding a wave of critical and commercial acclaim, as she readies for her role as the leading lady Nellie Forbush in the Lincoln Center revival of South Pacific.
