Daniel Radcliffe to star in Every Brilliant Thing on Broadway

Daniel Radcliffe is set to return to Broadway, this time starring in the one-person play Every Brilliant Thing.

Currently being performed by Minnie Driver in @sohoplace in the West End, the play will be transferring to Broadway early next year. This follows a rotation of guest stars in London including Lenny Henry, Ambika Mod, and Sue Perkins. The Broadway stint will run at the Hudson Theatre, New York, from February 21 to May 24, 2026.

Written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, Every Brilliant Thing is the story of a child who makes a list of joyful things in life for their mother who is struggling with depression. Exploring themes of mental health, love, and resilience, the play is set over decades and is a unique piece of theatre which incorporates several of the audience members. The Broadway run will be directed by Duncan along with Jeremy Herrin.

Speaking about the show, Duncan said: “Every Brilliant Thing tackles some serious subject matter, but the overall experience is one of joy and celebration. Every performance is unique and unpredictable, and it requires virtuosic skill from its central performer.”

On Daniel’s involvement, Duncan added: “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 Vicki Mortimer, with lighting design by Jack Knowles and sound design by Tom Gibbons. It is produced on Broadway by Second Half Productions, Seaview and Gavin Kalin Productions. The production is presented in association with Paines Plough.
