Daniel Radcliffe to 'Apparate' on Broadway Stage

RadcliffeTwo things young girls tend to get obsessive over: Harry Potter and horses. Both will be appearing on Broadway next spring, but it's not in something you'll want to bring your daughters or nieces to see. Actually, it will be actor Daniel Radcliffe performing in the Peter Shaffer play "Equus", a role that includes on-stage nudity. Both the play and the actor have received positive reviews during its London run, which ends this June. This is from London's Sunday Times review:


Given this seriousness and weight, could Radcliffe possibly be up to portraying Alan Strang – strong, strange – having barely stepped on stage before, his previous acting experience consisting principally of the likeable but hardly challenging role of a bespectacled schoolboy wizard? The answer is a resounding yes. Radcliffe is mesmerising, capturing all of Strang’s weird charisma, his rage, his silently burning intensity, his accusatory stare, his mystery,
his “keep out of my private sacred space” hatred. His modest stature only accentuates the child at the heartof his adolescent agonies, yet he is also powerfully wound up and sinewy, and his startlingly large, soulful eyes are a big asset, given the story line.

We crossed our fingers the play would be coming to NYC back in February and here it comes. Just like magic!

how can you say that you love him? no one of you know his character..... nobody knows how he is. maybe he is not so nice how you would think. but i must say he became a very handsome guy...he is also a good actor but what i did not liked in equus was that he interpreted the scenes not always right. in some scenes he was not alan he had more from daniel radcliffe. it was his own interpretation and it was too much of HIS OWN some scenes have an other meaning as he acted but all in all he is very handsome,and has got a big sympathy.....from germany

Hi, I for one think that Daniel is a great actor and I think it was smart of him to do this show because it shows how versatile he is. It is good to not be known for just one thing but when you think about it that was a pretty big role and I am sure that it will be quite sometime before he is forgotten for this role. Daniel Radcliffe is a great actor no matter how you feel about him. He is (I don't want to say young be he somewhat is)and he already has amazing talent I just can't wait for what he will do in the future!

user-pic

I hope he is not naked because that would be disgusting! EW! EW! EW! I really want to throw up! OMG!

user-pic

OMG! Whoever is that guest person that put something up on July 9th 2007 at 1:19 Am is disgusting!!!!!!!!!!! EWEWEW! I still love the movies and the books though!

user-pic

He is pretty cute!

user-pic

OMG DANIEL IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOT!NOT JUST THAT BUT HE IS REALLY SMART AND TALENTED!IF HE WAS UP 2 DO THAT ROLE CAN'T WAIT TO WHAT HE WILL DO LATER ON IN THE FUTURE! I love you Daniel!!!!

user-pic

That review is surprising and intriguing. If the Radcliffe boy has as much talent as the Sunday Times says he does, I haven't seen it in his role as Harry Potter, but I'd really like to.

I wish I could see the show. :(

Hopefully he'll have movies in the future where his versatility can shine through, so I can finally be mesmerized by him, as well. :)

i do not think he is wierd for doing the play i think girls are so wierd y cant u just b happy for him b/c he has a girlfriend consider him lucky i never had a girlfriend i LOVE Harry Potter books and movies J.K. Rowling is a genious for making such incredible books and oh yeah if you could make lots of money for dancing on a stage naked with horses wouldn't you do it too? I would do it if I could make $1,000,000 or more of money! i could live on a cruise ship for the rest of my life with that kind of money! in Hawaii! My Dad has never even made a million dollars yet, and he is a pilot!
