Daniel Radcliffe Returns to Broadway in Every Brilliant Thing Beginning February 21

Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe's Every Brilliant Thing comes to Broadway's Hudson Theatre beginning February 21. Opening night is set for March 12.
Merrily We Roll Along Tony winner Daniel Radcliffe is returning to the Main Stem in the work, in which a nameless protagonist faces a distant father, a suicidal mother, and his own inexplicable deep sadness. And in a spark of childhood genius, he counteracts these obstacles by chronicling every brilliant thing in the world—first to cheer up his depressed mother, and later for friends, lovers, and himself. Those things include items ranging from simple pleasures ("ice cream,” “the color yellow”) to the far more specific and detailed ("old people who are kind and don’t smell unusual,” “the even numbered Star Trek films").
The solo play debuted at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it played three sold-out consecutive summers before coming to Off-Broadway's Barrow Street Theatre in 2014. The latter run was filmed live and aired on HBO with Donahoe starring. The work returned to Edinburgh Fringe in 2024, where it was a Playbill Pick. The work also recently made its West End debut at @sohoplace, and featured a rotating roster of stars.
The full creative team from that West End bow is reprising their work on the Main Stem, including directors Jeremy Herrin and Macmillan, scenic and costume designer Vicki Mortimer, lighting designer Jack Knowles, and sound designer Tom Gibbons. Casting is by Jessica Ronane, TT Partners is general managing, and Jhanaë K-C Bonnick serves as production stage manager.
Second Half Productions, Seaview, and Gavin Kalin Productions are producing.
