Harry Potter…er, Daniel Radcliffe, Returns to Broadway in 2011
Daniel Radcliffe will be playing J. Pierrepont Finch in How to Succeed in Business Without Rally Trying which is scheduled to open in Spring 2011. The role had been resurrected by Matthew Broderick back in 1995, but was organically played by Robert Morse in 1961.
The story is about a window-cleaner who rises to the top of the World-Wide Wicket Company. His morally questionable business practices threaten his role as the Vice President and a relationship with the company secretary, Rosemary Polkington. How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying will be directed and choreographed by Tony winner Rob Ashford (Thoroughly Modern Millie).
Radcliffe will be finishing the final Harry Potter movie this year. It’s time for Radcliffe to start the long road ahead of him of trying to rid himself of the Potter stigma.
