Daniel Radcliffe to star in the Broadway Premiere of Every Brilliant Thing

Daniel Radcliffe will star in  the Broadway Premiere of Every Brilliant Thing written by Olivier Award nominee Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe.

Directed by Oliver and Tony Award nominee Jeremy Herrin and Duncan Macmillan, the hit one-person play will begin Broadway performances at The Hudson Theatre from 21 February for a limited thirteen-week engagement until 24 May, 2026.

Every Brilliant Thing is an exhilarating and heartwarming play, in which a man looks back at his life and the glimmers of hope that carried him through. All told through a list of every wonderful, beautiful, and delightful thing—big, small, and everything in between—that makes life worth living. 

“Every Brilliant Thing tackles some serious subject matter, but the overall experience is one of joy and celebration,” said Duncan Macmillan. “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.”

Every Brilliant Thing is designed by Olivier Award winner Vicki Mortimer, with Lighting Design by Tony Award winner Jack Knowles and Sound Design by Tony Award nominee Tom Gibbons. Casting for the Broadway run is by Jessica Ronane CDG, General Management is by TT Partners, and the Production Stage Manager is Jhanaë K-C Bonnick.
