Daniel Radcliffe will appear in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" early next year. |
Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe will make his Broadway musical debut in a revival of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" early next year, producers said on Thursday. |
The 20-year-old British actor, who won rave reviews for his Broadway debut in the play "Equus" in 2008, will take up the role of J. Pierrepont Finch in the musical based on Shepherd Mead's satirical self-help book of the same name. |
The musical follows Finch, a young window-cleaner who follows the advice of the self-help book and rises from the mail room to vice president of advertising at a company. |
"Finch's unorthodox and morally questionable business practices jeopardize not only his career but also his romance with secretary Rosemary Pilkington," producers said in a statement. |
The Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical was first performed on Broadway in 1961. |
Radcliffe is currently filming the eighth and final film in the "Harry Potter" series based on the seven books by author J.K. Rowling. |

Alnwick Squash Club have launched a publicity drive to try to raise their profile and attract new members, particularly at junior level. |
The Bondgate Without club currently have around 25 junior players training in their squads every Saturday, with some of them doing more during the week and others competing in local competitions. |
For two years now, head coach Liam Gutcher has been working with middle school teachers and PE co-ordinators and introducing squash in lessons with Year 5 pupils. |
These lessons are then followed up with free squash festivals at the club, giving the students a chance to try squash out on a real court. |
At the end of a fun session, parents are then given details of how to get their sons and daughters involved on a more regular basis. |
Liam said: “Our last festivals were held on January 28, with 25 Year 5 pupils from local middle schools attending, and eight have signed up for Saturday squads already. |
Squash is an indoor racket sport played by more than 500,000 people every month and was voted the world’s healthiest sport by Forbes Magazine recently. |
It’s billed as a great way for kids to burn off a bit off energy and learn hand-eye co-ordination skills in a safe environment without ever being stopped by the weather. |
The club were established in 1977 by squash enthusiast Hilton Charlton in the former premises of fishing tackle manufacturer Hardy Brothers (Alnwick). |
The building itself certainly doesn’t look like a normal sports facility but it has a charming personality and quirkiness – from a stag’s head on the wall to a resident dog, who sits at the bar with members – not found in many purpose-built leisure centres. |
Despite being on the northern edge of the Northumberland squash scene, the club have always been a great contributor to the sport in the region, discovering and developing some of its best players over the years, including Jane Martin, formerly ranked No 6 in the world and who has represented England, and John Dale, fo... |
The current under-19 county champion, Chris Wiggins, is a local lad from Felton who started out at the Alnwick club and leads the first team. |
He’s now training and studying in Newcastle, and everyone at the club has bright hopes for his future at senior level. |
Liam added: “I’ve been coaching for eight years now, and I amcurrently a level-two coach, but in the middle of my level-three qualification. |
“Along with my position at Alnwick, I’m the county coach for Northumbria, assistant regional coach for the North East and also head coach at Northumbria University. |
“I’ve played squash for 20 years, was ranked No 3 in England as a junior and played professionally for a couple of years, reaching No 242 in the world. |
The violence that continues to rage in Egypt, Tunisia, Syria and elsewhere is not nearing its end, and does not represent the birth pangs of true democratic freedom in the Middle East. |
Israel Today spoke to two former Israeli ambassadors and diplomats involved in forging Israel's peace treaties with Egypt, Jordan and the Palestinians, and they said the so-called Arab Spring is just the latest round of intra-Muslim violence that has characterized this region for the past 1,400 years. |
As one of the ambassadors put it, arrangement and treaties in the Middle East are signed in ice, not carved in stone, and therefore are vulnerable to sudden upheaval. |
The experts told us that this cycle makes it painfully obvious why Israel cannot make the kind of far-reaching concessions being demanded of it for peace deals that could easily collapse the next time the region becomes inflamed. |
