Daniel Radcliffe will return to Broadway this spring. The Harry Potter star will star in the solo play Every Brilliant Thing at the Hudson Theatre, starting Feb. 21, 2026, ahead of a March 12 opening. The play is set for a limited 13-week engagement. The play, written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, has been performed across the globe in more than 80 countries, as well as in an HBO Special starring Donahoe. Minnie Driver is currently starring in a West End production of the show through Nov. 8. The story follows a man looking back at his life and “the glimmers of hope that carried him through,” as told through a list of everything that makes life worth living. Jeremy Herrin and Duncan Macmillan direct the Broadway production. This marks Radcliffe’s return to Broadway following his Tony Award-winning turn in Merrily We Roll Along, which ended its run in July 2024. Radcliffe has several other Broadway credits, including in Equus and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. “Every Brilliant Thing tackles some serious subject matter, but the overall experience is one of joy and celebration,” Macmillan said. “Every performance is unique and unpredictable and it requires virtuosic skill from its central performer. 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. He has huge depth and humanity. I can’t wait to get started.” Second Half Productions, Seaview and Gavin Kalin Productions are producing the Broadway run.
