Daniel Radcliffe stars in Every Brilliant Thing Broadway transfer

Daniel Radcliffe in Every Brilliant Thing

Tickets are now on sale for a strictly limited run of Every Brilliant Thing at the Hudson Theatre on Broadway, starring Daniel Radcliffe. Special on stage seating has been built for this intimate, one-of-a-kind production.

Following a hit West End run featuring Minnie Driver, Ambika Mod, Sue Perkins, Lenny Henry and the show’s original co-creator Jonny Donahoe, Duncan Macmillan’s solo show will play on Broadway after being performed in nearly 80 countries around the world.

Speaking with PEOPLE Magazine today, Radcliffe said he felt an immediate pull toward the project — even after the marathon run of Merrily We Roll Along, which closed earlier this year after 19 months.

“After Merrily, which was — for me — a very long run of a musical, I was kind of like: okay, I’m probably good for a few years now,” Radcliffe says.“But then I read this script, and what this show is, is so exciting and different from anything else I’ve ever done before. That overriding feeling it gives me is like, ‘oh, you’re never going to be asked to do something like this again.’ The play is so totally unique in its own thing. Like, I just knew as soon as I read it, I can’t pass this up.”

Macmillan previously said that Radcliffe’s instinct for the material felt like an ideal match.

“Every performance is unique and unpredictable and it requires virtuosic skill from its central performer,” he said when the project was announced. “When Daniel told us how much he loved the play, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. He has the intelligence, quick-wit and charm to roll with the spontaneous moments that the show invites — he can be a clown one moment, then grab you by the heartstrings the next.”

The Broadway run begins 21 February, 2026. The show is produced by Second Half Productions, Seaview, and Gavin Kalin Productions.
