Most exciting for theatre fans during his publicity chit chat was his expressing his desire to return to the Broadway stage in a musical production. Radcliffe even revealed he was taking tap lessons, remarking that, ""So far it's just a bit of shuffling... If I do a musical I want to be proper! Tap dance is so cool!"
