Harry Potter is coming to Broadway… nude. Okay I realize Daniel Radcliffe isn’t actually Harry Potter… but he so is. I can’t really look at him without seeing a boy wizard who needs his glasses and a scarf. Daniel is reprising his role in “Equus,” a play about a psychiatrist who tries to treat a young man (Radcliffe’s character) who has a religious and sexual fascination with horses. The psychiatrist is being played by Richard Griffiths, who played Harry’s cruel Uncle Vernon in the Harry Potter films.
Harry Potter is headed to The Great White Way. Daniel Radcliffe, the star of the “Harry Potter” movies, will make his Broadway debut on Sept. 5, playing the disturbed stable boy in a revival of Peter Shaffer’s play, “Equus,” it was announced Tuesday.
Radcliffe, 18, earned rave reviews for his performance in the London production of the Tony Award-winning play. He also received loads of media attention for appearing naked onstage – a departure from his wholesome image as the bespectacled boy wizard in the big-screen adaptations of J.K. Rowling’s best-selling fantasy novels.
“Equus” begins previews Sept. 5 for a limited 22-week run at the Broadhurst Theatre. The play opens Sept. 25-Feb. 8, 2009. Thea Sharrock directs.
[From the Huffington Post]
Supposedly the play is amazing. It sounds a bit odd, but that’s generally a good foundation for a spectacular play. There’s something about the thought of seeing Harry Potter totally naked that seems so wrong to me. There was much talk about Daniel’s nudity the first time around during the play’s London showing, and I imagine the same will happen in New York.

That’s the way I see it AC, he’s legal. It’s only looking, anyway. He’s hot! I can block out the little Harry from the first film from my mind.

I was lucky enough to catch one of the London performances with Radcliffe starring (his role has been picked up by another actor) and I most definitely recommend seeing the play.
I’ve been a Shaffer lover since I first read his plays (when I was 12, I know, it wasn’t the most appropriate age to read most of them…) so I was a bit teared up about seeing this version with “Harry Potter” but you’ve got to give the “boy who lived” credit : he’s a brilliant actor. And rare are those who can so easily and well translate on the stage (being a movie actor is completely different).

If it was Emma Watson at 18, I’d care.

mmmm no. lol
I am much more attracted to older guys so I feel a bit like Mary Kay Letourneau. LOL
I don’t know if it was his agent who talked him into this or if it was something he sought out for himself but I think taking this role will ensure that he has a long career after Harry Potter has come to an end.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I prefer to remember Daniel Radcliffe as an innocent young man. He seems still a little bit young, though he is 18, to be performing on stage nude. He is indeed a handsome young man, but exploiting his body like this will not allow people to remember him as he was. I will forever remember him in the innocence of life and refuse to view him in this new light.

Любое искусство, особенно нетрадиционное, всегда вызывало ожесточенные споры. Думаю, оно просто имеет право на свое существование, вот и всё!
