Lightening Things Up a Bit

First he tackled drama – and on-stage nudity! (on the West End and then on the Great White Way) – in Equus, and now Daniel Radcliffe getting ready to make his Broadway musical debut.

The artist a.k.a. Harry Potter will star as J. Pierrepont Finch in a revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying set for next spring.

The actor will have some pretty big shoes to fill: The role of a young window-cleaner who undergoes a meteoric rise from the mailroom to VP of advertising at the World-Wide Wicket Company was originated by Robert Morse in 1961 and resurrected by Matthew Broderick in 1995.

Break a leg, Daniel!
