Last year, Daniel Radcliffe appeared in the West End production of ‘The Cripple of Inishmaan’, a comedy about a young man (Daniel) with a sea of troubles who tries to become a movie star. The play will be coming to New York this April through July. According to The New York Times:
The production, which was mounted in London last summer by the Tony Award-winning director Michael Grandage (“Red”), will begin running at the Cort Theater on April 12, less than two weeks after the closing performance of the Cort’s current double-bill, “Waiting for Godot” and “No Man’s Land.”
Such a quick turnaround is relatively rare for a Broadway theater, but the timing accommodates the schedules of Mr. Radcliffe (best known from the “Harry Potter” movies) and Mr. Grandage while allowing for an official opening at the play’s April 20 matinee — just in time for the April 24 eligibility cut-off for Tony award nominations. Mr. Radcliffe was a surprise Tony snub in 2011 when he was passed over for a nomination for his lead performance in the Broadway revival of “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” He has also starred on Broadway in the 2008 revival of the play “Equus.”

The new production, which is scheduled to run through July 20, will feature the same cast from London. The Broadway run is being mounted by Mr. Grandage’s producing company as well as Arielle Tepper Madover and several other New York theater producers.
