Review: Daniel Radcliffe Navigates Audience Participation in Broadway's "Every Brilliant Thing"
By
Lauren Theisen
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
A review/reflection on Daniel Radcliffe's Broadway performance in "Every Brilliant Thing," a play about depression and suicide that relies heavily on audience participation. The author initially doubted the production would work due to the interactive nature of the show, but explores how Radcliffe's charm and stage experience navigate the challenging material and audience dynamics.
