Daniel Radcliffe is succeeding in everything he does.

The Harry Potter actor is cast in the revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and the reviews coming in are largely fantastic.

The 21 year-old Brit is impressing the crowds and critics in the musical comedy that looks at the corporate world of the 1960s. Very Mad Men-esque, if Mad Men was happy, light and fluffy.

Radcliffe costars with Rose Hemmingway and John Laroquette with Anderson Cooper narrating.

More photos from the opening night performance and after party are below.  (Read the article)

Nick Jonas has gotten a nice gig on Broadway next year.

The 19 year-old singer will take over the Daniel Radcliffe role of J. Pierrepont Finch in How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying in 2012.

Jonas has worked on a few theater production before, including Annie Get Your Gun and Beauty and The Beast. He also starred in London’s West End production of Les Miserables last year.

“It’s great to come back to Broadway,” Jonas said at the press conference today. “I always said my return to Broadway would have to feel right — the right role at the right time. This felt right.”

Jonas said he’s looking forward to meeting the Harry Potter star and talk shop with him.

“He’s an incredible actor and he’s doing such a great job with the show, so it will be cool to sit down with him and pick his brain,” Jonas said.

Radcliffe will leave the production on January 1st and Glee star Darren Criss takes the role temporarily from January 3rd to January 22nd. Jonas then grabs the spotlight on January 24th and continues until July 1st.

Daniel Radcliffe walks the red carpet in Trafalgar Square for the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II today in London.

The actor chose a custom three piece Simon Spurr suit in a light gray for the event.

Radcliffe, who was in New York City performing in the Broadway hit How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying just yesterday, revealed his struggle with alcohol while filming this last HP installment.

“I became so reliant on [alcohol] to enjoy stuff,” the 21 year-old actor said.

“I really got away with that because there were many instances when a paparazzi shot like that could have been taken.”

Daniel says he now realizes “There’s no shame in enjoying a quiet life.”

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II opens in the U.S. on July 15th.

Daniel Radcliffe has been a child star in the public eye for over 11 years who matured and never became the out-of-control promising young actor that the public is accustomed to witnessing but Radcliffe now says some of that was just an illusion.

The 21 year-old Harry Potter star reveals to GQ magazine that he has secretly battled alcohol and has been dry for close to a year now.

“I became so reliant on [alcohol] to enjoy stuff,” Radcliffe tells GQ via People magazine.

“I really got away with that because there were many instances when a paparazzi shot like that could have been taken.”

The Broadway star of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying said it was the trap of thinking that he should behave a certain way to enjoy himself and when he realized the difference, he changed.

“There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person’s lifestyle that really isn’t suited to me,” Radcliffe says.

“There’s no shame in enjoying a quiet life. And that’s been the realization of the past few years for me,” he says.

As the last Harry Potter installment is set to open worldwide in theaters in the next few weeks, Radcliffe is finding a new happiness with his girlfriend, Olive Uniacke, that includes no alcohol.

“I’m actually enjoying the fact that I can have a relationship with my girlfriend where I’m really pleasant and not f—— up totally all the time.”

The actor who is currently starring in the Broadway revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying told Gotham how being a guy from England is pretty cool for him in New York City.

“There is something very special about being English in this city, because there’s a certain fascination with British culture,” the Harry Potter actor said. “I don’t know what it is, but I feel a lot cooler here than I do in England.”
