Daniel Radcliffe to Return to Broadway in THE CRIPPLE OF INISHMAAN

Just came to post this as well! Wow! Was not expecting this show to come over! I quite enjoyed it in London.

Man there has been a flood of amazing news today!

Another show I'm psyched for.

It's going to be one of the busiest springs I can recall.

I think he's talented on stage as well as on screen.

He's won raves for Kill Your Darlings and Horns.

---

Agree about his talent on both stage and screen!

This is super exciting news. What a season this will be!!

---

They are selling 10,000 tickets throughout the run at $27.

i saw it in London and Radcliffe was the weakest link by miles. His accent was excruciating, especially standing onstage alongside a largely Southern Irish cast!

I did something from the Michael Grandage Season to transfer but thought it would be Henry V and not Cripple of Inishmaan

Does anyone have a link to the website?

Great news. I thought he was excellent in Equus and did a fine job in How To Succeed. I saw it early in previews and he was somewhat a "deer in the headlights", but he worked his little @ss off and I'm sure he relaxed into the role once he really committed all that dancing and movement to muscle memory.

He seems like a fine young man with a good work ethic. I'll definitely see this.

"Radcliffe also has the precious gift, vital in a play full of narrative surprises, of seeming artful and vulnerable at the same time."

"Physically and emotionally, it is a stupendous performance he delivers, and he has to do much more than just “talking.” The accent, the walk – every bit as brilliantly conceived and executed as Antony Sher’s Richard III – and, above all, the humanity that he manages to achieve for Cripple Billy make this the finest piece of acting I have seen all year."

"They’re all freaks in Inishmaan. What human being isn’t, if you look closely enough? Mr. McDonagh’s awareness of this sad, funny fact of life is what makes his portraits of the bored so fascinating. Mr. Radcliffe grasps that perception with sensitivity and firmness. His performance is remarkable precisely because you realize that his character is not."

I thought he worked very hard in HOW TO SUCCEED..., but was, ultimately, let down by a director who over-choreographed and under-directed the show.

Tickets are supposed to be onsale at 10.
