Daniel Radcliffe Considers GLEE Appearance
By: Caroline Cole Jun. 17, 2010
With the Harry Potter series under his belt, Daniel Radcliffe is ready to return to Broadway next Spring for his first musical role. As BroadwayWorld has previously reported, the 20 year-old is set to star in the revival of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING, helmed by Rob Ashford. What is more, Radcliffe's newfound musical career could lead to a stint on GLEE.
When Access Hollywood asked about the prospect, Radcliffe replied, "Yes, absolutely. I would consider it. I mean of course… it’s an amazing show and I [would] obviously be honored to be asked. But, I’m not sure I’m ready for that yet. They’ve got standards like Kristin Chenoweth!”
Daniel Radcliffe is best known for playing the title role in all six of the "Harry Potter" films to date, and will star again in the remaining titles. He recently made his Broadway debut, to much acclaim, in EQUUS. EQUUS also starred Richard Griffiths, with whom Daniel appeared in the highly successful production of the play in London's West End and in the Harry Potter films as well. Radcliffe won BroadwayWorld.com 's 2009 Theatre Fans' Choice Award for Best Leading Actor in a Play for his role in EQUUS. Radcliffe will return to Broadway next year in the revival of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT EVEN TRYING.
In its premiere season, GLEE has featured guest appearances by a wide range of talented performers. In addition to its regular cast members the show included Jonathan Groff, Kristen Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Molly Shannon, Neil Patrick Harris, Mike O'Malley and Olivia Newton-John.
