Dallas Morning News: Connick praised the city of Dallas for its support of music’s future through the “phenomenal” Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. He was blown away by the facilities and the students during an impromptu visit.
GuideLive: Connick was clearly impressed with the Dallas arts high school. “When I was a kid, I always dreamed of attending a school like this,” he said. “It’s like Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory for artists.” 
"Booker T. is on the world's artistic map." ~ Glenn Close
Kevin Bacon visits Booker T.
The Dallas Observer: Booker T., where he'd spoken to about 400 students and dropped in on classrooms earlier in the day, is wonderful. "I wish I'd had that as a kid," he said. 
Theater Jones: After almost every question, Chenoweth went on about how emotional it was for her to be in the midst of young artists and how they inspired her. What the Nasher audience also didn't get was Chenoweth singing, a cappella, "Popular" from Wicked when the students asked her if she'd grace us with her voice. She did this despite having bronchitis, which she has been Tweeting about for days. She also praised a Booker T. student who, before the panel took the stage, sang "For Good" from Wicked.
