Producers Second Half Productions, Seaview, and Gavin Kalin Productions are thrilled to announce that Tony Award® winner Daniel Radcliffe (Merrily We Roll Along, Harry Potter films) will return to the New York stage this spring, in the Broadway premiere of the acclaimed, stirring solo play EVERY BRILLIANT THING by Olivier Award nominee Duncan Macmillan (People, Places and Things) with Jonny Donahoe. Directed by Olivier & Tony Award nominee Jeremy Herrin (People, Places and Things; Wolf Hall) & Duncan Macmillan, the play begins previews on Saturday, February 21, 2026, ahead of an official opening night of Thursday, March 12, for a limited thirteen-week engagement through May 24, 2026 at The Hudson Theatre (141 W 44th Street).
Every Brilliant Thing is an exhilarating and heartwarming play, in which a man looks back at his life and the glimmers of hope that carried him through. All told through a list of every wonderful, beautiful, and delightful thing—big, small, and everything in between—that makes life worth living. This one-of-a-kind solo show, which has been performed across the globe in over 80 countries on stages of all sizes—and for an HBO Special starring co-creator Jonny Donahoe—makes its long-awaited Broadway premiere following a hit season @sohoplace in London’s West End, where it is currently running with Minnie Driver through November 8. The play’s five-star reviews include The Telegraph declaring it, “a life-affirming show that is just the tonic we need,” with The Times of London hailing it as an “extraordinary, shattering, and beautiful” experience, “rich with theatrical innovation. Built with the collaboration of audience and performer, it is a truly brilliant thing. I wrote this with tears in my eyes.” The Observer deemed it “unmissable,” and Time Out described the play as “filled to the brim with joy. Beautiful, heart wrenching, and very funny.”
“Every Brilliant Thing tackles some serious subject matter, but the overall experience is one of joy and celebration,” said Macmillan. “Every performance is unique and unpredictable and it requires virtuosic skill from its central performer. When Daniel told us how much he loved the play, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. He has the intelligence, quick-wit and charm to roll with the spontaneous moments that the show invites – he can be a clown one moment, then grab you by the heartstrings the next. He has huge depth and humanity. I can’t wait to get started.”
“There’s something about the nature of this play and the connection that is being constantly made with the audience, from before the play even starts when I’m out there interacting with people as they come into the room, that I’m very intrigued by and excited by,” Daniel said. “This play is built with the audience new every night.”
