Take a few Hollywood movie stars,
a television “gleek” and a handful of recording artists, and you’ll see a lot
of different actors succeeding on Broadway this season.
The revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying has had a few great months starring “Harry Potter” favorite Daniel
Radcliffe, recently named Entertainer of the Year by Entertainment Weekly. But
it’s time for a gleek to step into the spotlight! Darren Criss (“Glee”) will be
taking Daniel Radcliffe’s role in his Broadway debut starting January 3 for
three short weeks. Another familiar face, Nick Jonas (The Jonas Brothers), will
be taking over the role after Criss returns to filming for “Glee.”

A bright spotlight has also been shining
on Hugh Jackman’s performance in Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway.
Even though the one man show closes January 1 after a ten-week run,
Broadway fans won’t have long to wait before Jackman returns to the big screen
as Jean Valjean in the new “Les Misérables” movie. I get chills just thinking
about it.
Harry Connick Jr. is currently
starring in the revival of the 1965 show On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. Harry Connick Jr. plays
a psychiatrist who falls head over heels in love, and I don’t think his fans
will have a problem falling in love with his charming character.
Out of all your favorite
television and movie stars, who would you like to see live on Broadway?
