Broadway Audiences Will Soon Learn If Daniel Radcliffe Is Hung Like His Horse [Hairy Potter]

Broadway Audiences Will Soon Learn If Daniel Radcliffe Is Hung Like His Horse [Hairy Potter]
Finally, a good reason to shell out for tickets to a Broadway show: People reports this morning that Daniel Radcliffe and his treasure trail are set to make their stateside debut when Equus arrives in New York this September. Unlike all those rumors claiming tabloid favorites like Kevin Federline and Nicole Richie were ready to high-kick and lip sync their way through musicals, Radcliffe's smash hit in London was a far cry from stunt casting. But Harry Potter sounds a bit more nervous than he is excited:

"I will be terrified because I was talking to [co-star] Richard Griffiths about playing New York, and he said the most stupid thing you can do is underestimate New York audiences."
What, by assuming they'll pour into the theater just to see those infamous pictures (after the jump, just because) come to life? Why, we'd never...


Though the play received critical acclaim from London theater critics when it opened in February last year, Radcliffe's nudity was obviously the star attraction. The Guardian called it a "well-realised" "exciting spectacle," but later wondered if Radcliffe's star power was overshadowing its merit. Whether or not the story of a sad teenage guy blinding six horses opens to rave reviews here in New York, there's something else Radcliffe should know about American audiences: we like us some celebrity nudity.
