Daniel Radcliffe will head the cast of an upcoming New York reading of 1961 tuner “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” marking the first musical turn for the “Harry Potter” star. Producers Broadway Across America, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron are test driving the project for a potential Rialto revival.

And here’s a brief summary of what the play is about:

“How to Succeed” chronicles the rise of a crafty window cleaner as he follows the advice of a self-help manual to connive his way up through the ranks of the World Wide Wickets Co. and get the girl in the process. Robert Morse created the role on Broadway and in the 1967 screen adaptation. The original production won seven Tonys, including musical, as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1962, running for a healthy 1,417 performances. Matthew Broderick won a Tony for the lead role in a 1995 Rialto revival.

Sounds like a role that is perfect for Dan – and yes, there will be singing and dancing!
