Will Daniel Radcliffe be returning to Broadway?

http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Equus-Pictures-daniel-radcliffe-85023_350_506.jpgHarry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe got raves when he appeared on Broadway last year in Equus. There is now hope that Radcliffe might return to the New York stage in a revival of  the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

Radcliffe (pictured in Equus) took part in a reading of the show this week and, according to Broadway World, was sensational.

Writes the site’s Realto Chatter columnist: He interpreted the role in a charming, adorable and fresh way. He sang great. I think everyone was there to see if he could do it. And boy, he really did it. He was great. He came off as a full-fledged musical star. Those of us who saw him in Equus know he has the stage chops as a dramatic actor but now I can say that he could easily take Broadway by storm as a musical comedy star, too. After that final Harry Potter movie comes out, this guy can do whatever he wants in any medium. I loved him. And it seems to me that he is the youngest actor to play the role of Finch. And his youth made the show feel fresh and new. It had a new kind of innocence to contrast the cynicism of the world he is in.

3 Remarks

  1. Thanks for posting, but I didn’t know Daniel Radcliffe was gay.

  2. Mary, Daniel Radcliffe isn’t gay but what does his sexual orientation have to do with Greg’s post?

  3. He isn’t gay. Or at least he hasn’t publicly announced he was. He is very gay friendly.
