Somewhere between the finding of my seat and the dimming of the lights, I realized that Every Brilliant Thing<\/em><\/a>, which is just starting its limited 13-week run at the Hudson Theater, was not going to be your typical Broadway experience<\/a>. For starters, I could see backstage, where several ladders and a tarp were propped haphazardly. But more to the point, while the audience was filtering in and unwrapping their hard candies, Daniel Radcliffe<\/a>\u2014yes the<\/em> Daniel Radcliffe\u2014was running around the theater, gesturing wildly to the stage manager, introducing himself to theater-goers<\/a> and asking (politely!) if they\u2019d be willing to be part of the show.<\/p>\n This messy exuberance, with a spillover between performance and participation, is what defines Every Brilliant Thing<\/em>, an 85-minute one(ish)-man-show that tells the story of a hopeless optimist trying to find good in the wake his mother\u2019s depression.<\/p>\n The brilliant things in question make up the running list the unnamed narrator keeps, all the stuff that makes life worth living. The list begins when he is seven with \u201cice cream\u201d and moves on to more complex concepts as he ages\u2014\u201cwindshield wipers that swish along to the beat of the music\u201d or \u201cwaking up next to someone you love.\u201d Initially, he makes this list to break his mother out of her periods of darkness. But ultimately, it becomes a thing he himself relies on, particularly as his own bouts of depression creep in.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.purewow.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Somewhere between the finding of my seat and the dimming of the lights, I realized that Every Brilliant Thing, which is just starting its limited 13-week run at the Hudson Theater, was not going to be your typical Broadway experience.
