More information about Every Brilliant Thing
One actor, one audience, one million reasons: Every Brilliant Thing traces a man sustained by reasons-to-live lists he at first made for his seriously depressed mother. Now, the method is carrying him through his own life, and he has a story, and his many reason to live, to share.
“I love working in New York. I love working onstage. And I’ve been insanely lucky to be able to do both — to have a stage career and a film and TV career,” star Daniel Radcliffe said in an interview with The New York Times. “And I want to be able to keep finding reasons to come back to Broadway for as long as I am physically capable of doing so.”
Now, he returns back in 2026. The play was written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, a British comedian who originated the lead role. This marks the play's exciting Broadway debut.
