Fans have been packing into Manhattan’s Al Hirschfeld Theatre since February for their chance to see Harry Potter‘s Daniel Radcliffe in the Broadway revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and most have been pleasantly surprised at his versatility; he has adding singing and dancing to his list of documented talents (right under the Patronus Charm and Quidditch).
As Radcliffe has proven to be a huge box office draw, the production will welcome a couple of other hot young stars to the show upon his departure. Appearing in a limited engagement from January 3rd to the 22nd, singer/songwriter and breakout star of Glee Darren Criss will assume the lead role of J. Pierrepont Finch (a funny coincidence since he played another Radcliffe role in his viral spoofs A Very Potter Musical and A Very Potter Sequel). No doubt Gleeks everywhere will be scrambling for tickets to those shows.
But if fans can’t score tickets for those three weeks, they need only wait until January 24th, when Nick Jonas of The Jonas Brothers will begin performances (hold for teenage girl screams). Though Nick is best known for his work with the family band, he is actually a Broadway veteran, having appeared since the age of 7 in such shows as A Christmas Carol, Annie Get Your Gun, Beauty and the Beast, and Les Miserables. In 2010, he made his London debut as Marius in Les Mis, performing in the West End production and the 25th Anniversary Concert. Most recently, he played teen heartthrob Link Larkin in the Hollywood Bowl production of Hairspray. At only 19, Nick has already got quite the resume and he is still on the rise. Somehow I don’t think he’ll have any trouble portraying Finch’s meteoric rise to the top in How to Succeed. If anyone knows how to succeed, he does.
