Daniel Radcliffe well received on Broadway

Normally I would not find this noteworthy enough to blog on, even though I seriosuly heart Daniel Radcliffe and it was always nice to see young actors develop... I decided to write because of this wonderful quote (from Ben Brantley, the reviewer in the New York Times) in this Reuters article:

Brantley noted the similarity between Radcliffe's role in "Equus" and that of Harry Potter with both characters coming of age "in a menacing, magical world where the prospect of being devoured by darkness is always imminent."

An odd, but strikingly true observation. Of course, now I'm just wondering how they will incorporate complete nudity into the Deathly Hallows film...

Alex finally catches a break!

Paul Gordon's romantic musical, Emma, seen in a 2007 world premiere by TheatreWorks in California, will have a fall 2008 co-production by Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and Repertory Theatre of St. Louis.

And Alex Organ will play Robert Martin, the well-to-do farmer who has eyes and heart for Harriet!

The same person who wrote the score, book and lyrics for Jane Eyre has written for Emma, which means it will be haunting and breath-taking. And the costumes from that era certainly fit his body type. He will fit right in, and hopefully stand out to reviewers as the "why haven't we scene this kid on Broadway" actor.
How exciting to be involved in a new, and likely to be successful, project like this one! we are all so proud, Bro, and wish you many broken legs!
