Daniel Jacob Radcliffe was born on&nbsp;July 23, 1989 in Hammersmith, London, and is, of course, best known for starring as the title character in all eight movies of the&nbsp;Harry Potter&nbsp;franchise.

At age 10, he made his acting debut in the BBC's TV adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield,&nbsp;playing a young David in the two-part special&nbsp;which aired in 1999. His feature film debut came just two years later in 2001, after being cast as Mark in The Tailor of Panama.

Next, Radcliffe auditioned for the title role in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone&nbsp;in 2000. The film's director, Chris Columbus, had been impressed with his performance in David Copperfield, and&nbsp;after eight months and several rounds of auditions, he was finally cast to play Harry. The first film in the franchise was released by Warner Bros. in 2001, making Radcliffe into a global star overnight. Over the next 10 years, a further seven movies were released: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets&nbsp;(2002), Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban​&nbsp;(2004), Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire&nbsp;(2005), Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix​&nbsp;(2007), Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince&nbsp;(2009), Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1&nbsp;(2010), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2&nbsp;(2011).

During his Harry Potter&nbsp;years, he also appeared as himself (opposite Ricky Gervais) on the TV series Extras&nbsp;in 2006, as Maps in the&nbsp;film&nbsp;December Boys,&nbsp;and as&nbsp;John Kipling in the TV movie My Boy Jack,&nbsp;both released in 2007. His most notable post-Potter screen credits include The Woman in Black&nbsp;(2012), Kill Your Darlings&nbsp;and Horns&nbsp;(2013), Victor Frankenstein&nbsp;(2015), and Swiss Army Man,&nbsp;Now You See Me 2,&nbsp;and Imperium&nbsp;(2016).

Radcliffe has also established himself as a gifted stage actor on both sides of the Atlantic. He made his West End debut in 2002&nbsp;as a celebrity guest in the London production of&nbsp;The Play What I Wrote, directed by Kenneth Branagh. His first full-time theatre role was&nbsp;Alan Strang in the spring 2007 West End revival of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/equus">Equus</a>, which transferred to New York in the fall of 2008, marking&nbsp;his Broadway debut and earning Radcliffe his first Drama Desk Award nomination. In spring 2011, he would make his Broadway musical debut, taking on the role of J.&nbsp;Pierrepont Finch in a revival of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/how-to-succeed-in-business-without-really-trying">How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying</a>&nbsp;from February 2011&nbsp;to January 2012. His performance earned him&nbsp;a second Drama Desk Award nomination, as well as a Grammy Award nomination in the category of "Best Musical Theater Album".

He returned to the London stage in 2013, playing Billy in a revival of Martin McDonagh's&nbsp;<a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/the-cripple-of-inishmaan-0">The Cripple of Inishmaan</a>, which transferred to Broadway in the spring of 2014 and resulted in a third Drama Desk Award nomination. In the summer of 2016, he made his Off-Broadway debut as The Writer&nbsp;in <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/public-theater">The Public Theater's</a> production of&nbsp;Privacy&nbsp;and then returned to the London stage as Rosencrantz in the Old Vic's spring 2017 revival of&nbsp;Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

Radcliffe then came back to Broadway from September 20, 2018&nbsp;through January 13, 2019, playing Jim Fingal in the world premiere of&nbsp;The Lifespan of a Fact&nbsp;at <a href="https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/studio-54">Studio 54</a>.

A Doll's House on Broadway Starring Jessica Chastain - NYC

A Doll's House on Broadway Starring Jessica Chastain

ADH-109333-015407-TodayTix 480x720

A dolls house

The new Broadway production of Henrik Ibsen’s [*A Doll’s House*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/26989-a-dolls-house-tickets) starring [Jessica Chastain](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/jessica-chastain) is laser-focused, laid bare, and simply stunning. As always, the play tells the story of Nora Helmer, a wife and mother who finally summons the power to stand tall on her own two feet. 

British director Jamie Lloyd ingeniously runs full tilt with that image. For nearly all of the play’s unbroken two hours, Nora remains rooted in a chair (vaguely Norwegian, a nod to Ibsen’s background) situated downstage, close to the audience.

Even when Nora practices a dance she’s performing at a holiday party, she doesn’t get up – it’s as if she’s doing chair yoga. Only in the final few moments does Nora rise on her own, stand erect, risk everything, and walk out. To go where? That’s the question.

The hallmark of Lloyd's vision — he directed [*Betrayal* with Tom Hiddleston](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/review-of-betrayal-starring-tom-hiddleston-charlie-cox-zawe-ashton-on-broadway) on Broadway and [*Cyrano de Bergerac* with James McAvoy](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/cyrano-de-bergerac-off-broadway-review-james-mcavoy) at BAM — is absolute certainty. That extends from the first time we see Nora to the last and everything in between. Chastain appears in her chair about 15 minutes before showtime. Arms and legs crossed, she gazes into the audience as she repeatedly rotates on a turntable. 

It’s a brilliant and economical visual – and not just because Chastain’s so great she’ll make your head spin. Nora is a woman whose life goes in circles, and in this revival, everything orbits around her. Whenever characters talk, they stand near Nora, slide up a seat by her, or – what nerve! – share her chair without even asking. 

The story takes place at Christmas, and celebratory spirits are doubly high. Nora’s husband Torvald (Arian Moayed) is being promoted at his bank. He’s a big deal. In his mind, Nora, aka “Birdie,” as he calls her, is childish – like their three kids cared for by Anne-Marie (Tasha Lawrence). 

Torvald is wrong. When he was ill, Nora singlehandedly risked everything to save him, bending the law to secure a loan from Krogstad (Okieriete Onaodowan). It’d be a catastrophe if that came out. Nora knows that. So does her friend and confidante, Kristine (Jesmille Darbouze). But Nora is on the brink of being exposed. Not even her dear friend Dr. Rank (Michael Patrick Thornton) can help.

Written in 1879, Ibsen’s play packs sticks of dramatic dynamite as it takes on marriage, money, secrets, reputation, and power. It assumes up-to-the-moment urgency and accessibility thanks to the crisp translation by Amy Herzog (*Mary Jane*, *4000 Miles*).

She’s a playwright with perfect pitch when it comes to dialogue. Upon discovering his wife’s deception, Torvald damns her in 2023-speak: “You stupid bitch!” That exclamation – and Nora’s response – enables the play to draw blood.

Absent of scenery, props, or period costumes (the cast all wear dark street clothes), the revival is about the words. When Nora plays with her three children, they’re unseen. When a cigar is lit, there’s no miming. Lloyd trusts the audience to fill in the blanks. Beyond smart physical choices, Lloyd cast the play extremely well. Supporting actors all deliver.

Since making her Broadway debut in 2012 in a low-lit performance in *The Heiress*, Chastain has won an Oscar for *The Eyes of Tammy Faye* and a SAG Award for *George & Tammy*. She’s in total command as Nora, letting her voice do much of the heavy lifting.

In the end, Torvald’s pet name of Birdie is apt. This real housewife is an eagle when she takes flight.

'A Doll's House' review — Jessica Chastain takes flight in Ibsen revival

Read our five-star review of Jessica Chastain in *A Doll's House* on Broadway, directed by Jamie Lloyd, which plays at the Hudson Theatre through June 4.

The Hudson Theatre first opened on October 19, 1903, with *Cousin Kate* starring Ethel Barrymore. Although the firm of J. B. McElfatrick & Son first drew up the architectural design of the theatre in 1902, the firm of Israels & Harder ultimately took over and completed the project. The venue was built for theatrical producer Henry B. Harris, who managed the theatre until his death as a passenger on the RMS Titanic in 1912. 

During the 1930s and 1940s, the building was also used as for CBS Radio broadcasts when it wasn't being used for theatrical productions. NBC purchased the property in 1950, converting it into a permanent television studio. The venue housed *The Tonight Show* from 1954 to 1959.

Over the next few decades, under the ownership of developer Abraham Hirschfeld, the building was used for theatrical productions (1960 to 1968), as an adult movie house (from 1974), and as the Savoy rock club (from 1980). The Hudson Theatre was awarded New York landmark status in 1987.

Millennium & Copthorne Hotels purchased the Hudson in 1995 as a part of the surrounding luxury hotel known as the Millennium Broadway and used as a business conference center and auditorium. During this time, it was additionally used as a stand-up comedy venue for Comedy Central broadcasts.

In 2015, Ambassador Theatre Group purchased the venue as its second official Broadway venue, following the [Lyric Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/lyric-theatre). After fully shutting down and undergoing a major renovation, the Hudson reopened in 2017 with a revival of Stephen Sondheim's musical *Sunday in the Park with George,* starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Since the theatre first opened in 1903 and reopened from scratch in 2017, the Hudson is simultaneously Broadway's oldest and newest theatre.
