Daniel Radcliffe returning to Broadway with 'Every Brilliant Thing'

NEW YORK — Newly minted Tony winner Daniel Radcliffe will return to Broadway this spring with the one-man show “Every Brilliant Thing.”

The show features audience participation, which Radcliffe, 36, said means it’s “built with the audience new every night.” It will enjoy a limited Broadway engagement from Mach 12 until May 24 at the Hudson Theater, per The New York Times. Previews begin Feb. 21.

“There’s something about the nature of this play and the connection that is being constantly made with the audience, from before the play even starts when I’m out there interacting with people as they come into the room, that I’m very intrigued by and excited by,” the “Harry Potter” star told The Times, adding that theatergoers will not be required to take part.

“Every Brilliant Thing,” penned by Duncan Macmillan with comedian Jonny Donahoe, who originated the lead role, is “told through a list of every wonderful, beautiful, and delightful thing — big, small, and everything in between — that makes life worth living.” The conceit of the list emerged due to the protagonist’s mother, who battled suicidal depression.

 

The Broadway run comes about a dozen years after the production’s off-Broadway run, though it originated across the pond at Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

“I want to be able to keep finding reasons to come back to Broadway for as long as I am physically capable of doing so,” said the “Equus” actor.

Radcliffe in 2024 earned his first Tony nomination and win for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a musical for the revival of Stephen Sondheim’s “Merrily We Roll Along.”
