Radcliffe-Headlined One-Man Broadway Hit Finally Recoups Its Cost

Daniel Radcliffe’s one-man Broadway show Every Brilliant Thing recouped its $5.75 million production cost after 10 weeks on Broadway, opening March 12 at the Hudson Theatre and extending through June 28; Radcliffe departs May 24 with Mariska Hargitay set to take over. The Edinburgh Fringe-originated piece, which invites audience participation and follows a man who lists “brilliant things” to lift his suicidal mother’s spirits, earned two Tony nominations (best play revival and lead actor) and has been praised for Radcliffe’s energetic, earnest performance as one of the season’s top-grossing plays.
