Daniel Radcliffe has been shining on the New York stage, though his limited engagement is soon coming to an end.
When the Harry Potter alum takes his bow in May, Mariska Hargitay will take over and make her Broadway debut in Every Brilliant Thing.
“I read Every Brilliant Thing and cried, rejoiced, laughed, cried some more, and loved it so much,” the Law & Order: SVU star, 62, said in a statement to Deadline. “I’m always drawn to themes of healing and renewal, especially when the journey is rendered in all its complexity. It feels like an extraordinary gift to make my Broadway debut, the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, with a play that affirms life so emphatically.”
Her statement continued, “For me, the triumph of this beautiful piece of work—this luminously brilliant thing—is that through a deeply personal story, we experience the universal endeavor of keeping ourselves pointed towards light, compassion and hope.”
Hargitay revealed her upcoming gig in a joint Instagram post on Monday, March 30. See below.
Fans have already shown plenty of support in the Instagram post’s comments section. “This is absolutely amazing! Mariska on Broadway 🥹🤍 she’s living a lifelong dream and she’s gonna be absolutely spectacular 🥳,” wrote one user, while another person commented, “I did NOT see this coming, but I totally LOVE IT 👏❤️🔥.”
Radcliffe will tackle his final performance on Sunday, May 24, Deadline reports, with Hargitay debuting on Tuesday, May 26. The play — written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, and directed by Jeremy Herrin — has extended its run through Sunday, June 28, at the Hudson Theatre.
For those not yet familiar, Every Brilliant Thing is a one-person play — with some help from the audience — as the main character reflects on their life and the glimmers of hope that carried them through significant hardship.
Earlier this year, Parade reported on Hargitay’s net worth in 2026, which is estimated to be a whopping $100 million.
