Daniel Radcliffe to star in Broadway musical
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe is heading to Broadway for his first musical.
The 20-year-old actor has been announced as the lead for How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.
Radcliffe is already used to the pressures of nightly Broadway appearances, having wowed critics with Equus last year.
‘How to Succeed’ chronicles the rise of a crafty window cleaner as he follows the advice of a self-help manual to connive his way up through the ranks of the World Wide Wickets Co. and get the girl in the process.
Robert Morse created the role on Broadway and starred in the 1967 screen adaptation.
The original production won seven Tonys, including musical, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1962, running for a healthy 1,417 performances. Matthew Broderick won a Tony for the lead role in a 1995 revival.
