| | |  Dan Radcliffe attends How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying read-through
It was announced earlier in the year that Daniel Radcliffe's next foray onto a Broadway stage would be a new production of the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, with a read-through of it to take place sometime in December.
Actor Michael Urie ( Ugly Betty) updated his official Twitter yesterday with the following comment, noting that along with Dan, he did the read-through with Broadway and Frasier star David Hyde Pierce. Quote:
played D.hydepierce's nephew and Daniel Radcliffe's nemisis in a reading of How 2 Succeed in Biz w/out rlly tryig. It was a thrill & a half!
We are currently inquiring on more about Dan's read-through and will update as soon as we receive further information. UPDATE: Broadway World has revealed that the read-through took place yesterday at 3pm in one of the rehearsal rooms at Playwrights Horizons in New York. They refer to the day as a 'test run' for the production. Quote:
Daniel Radcliffe was AMAZING. He interpreted the role in a charming, adorable and fresh way. He sang great. I think everyone was there to see if he could do it. And boy, he really did it. He was great. He came off as a full-fledged musical star. Those of us who saw him in Equus know he has the stage chops as a dramatic actor but now I can say that he could easily take Broadway by storm as a musical comedy star, too. After that final Harry Potter movie comes out, this guy can do whatever he wants in any medium. I loved him. And it seems to me that he is the youngest actor to play the role of Finch. And his youth made the show feel fresh and new. It had a new kind of innocence to contrast the cynicism of the world he is in.

Cool....That is soo great..
"recalling"......
* The first time I heard him sang in December Boys , :Still I Wonder, Still i Wonder who stops the rain...." 
He could be a good bass guitarist and a good singer
Keep on Rockin' Dan.....
