Daniel Radcliffe's 'Every Brilliant Thing' Ruled Tony Revival Despite Broadway Debut
The Tony Awards committee ruled that Daniel Radcliffe's current Broadway show 'Every Brilliant Thing' will compete in the Best Revival category, even though the play has never been staged on Broadway before.
Daniel Radcliffe's Broadway show 'Every Brilliant Thing' will compete as a revival at the Tony Awards, despite being the play's first time on Broadway. The Tony administration committee made this surprising ruling recently.
Usually, a revival means a play or musical that has already been staged on Broadway is being brought back. But the committee decided 'Every Brilliant Thing' fits the revival category anyway.
'Every Brilliant Thing' is an interactive one-person show with a message of hope. The Tony-winning actor recently finished a record-breaking run in 'Merrily We Roll Along,' which earned him a Tony Award. Mariska Hargitay will take over the role starting May 26.
The play has been called a 'cult hit' that was 'finally coming to Broadway.' The decision means it won't compete against other new plays, but against other revivals instead.
This unusual decision could change how Broadway shows compete for Tony Awards. It affects which shows Radcliffe's production will face for the top prize, potentially making it easier or harder to win.
The Tony Awards ceremony will reveal if 'Every Brilliant Thing' wins Best Revival despite its unusual category placement.
