According to city records, a brownstone on West 12th Street that was apparently built 162 years ago by a sea captain, was just sold for $5.65 million to the same limited liability corporation that owns Daniel Radcliffe's apartment at Jean Nouvel's 40 Mercer Street. The 20-year-old actor's mother is listed on the deed.

According to a listing with Sotheby's International Realty, which is the kind of fancy...

Hi-Yo, Equus! Daniel Radcliffe Rides Into Town

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:17:14 -0400

It’s good to have Peter Shaffer back on Broadway with Equus. Whatever the flaws of the watershed 1973 psychodrama that became one of his biggest international successes, Mr. Shaffer reminds us of the lifeblood that’s being drained from the theater: the power of articulate ideas and ritual.

Like all his major plays—The Royal Hunt of the Sun (1964), Amadeus (1979)—the confrontation between two male protagonists in a war between ecstatic instinct...

CONCERTS

As with Hollywood, the music industry seems have gone on a bit of a vacation these last few weeks. Maybe we’re just bummed about the final concert at McCarren Park Pool, but there doesn’t seem to be much going on.

Raise a glass of your last summer rosé to the Decemberists, then, for soldiering on. Colin Meloy and his crew take to the road this fall—their first gigs since performing...

Sixth Harry Potter Flies into 2009

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 09:01:45 -0400

Bad news for Harry Potter fans: due to a lackluster schedule for next summer, Warner Bros. has decided to move the next Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, from this November to about a year from now, July 17, 2009. You can blame the writers' strike, which left the studio without much to develop for the crucial summer slate, says Variety. It's especially bad timing, as Daniel Radcliffe, soon to be...

The play begins previews at the Broadhurst Theatre on Sept. 5. There will be an official opening on Sept....

Potter Boy Radcliffe Gets Feisty With Studio Over Equus

Wed, 05 Dec 2007 13:14:03 -0500

So Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe officially signed the contract to bring Equus (and the 10-minute sex scene that goes along with it) to Broadway next year. The New York Post tells us that he had to wrangle with studios over scheduling obligations to the Potter movies to make it happen.

Remains of the Day: Radcliffe, Vuitton, Bionic Woman

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 17:44:50 -0500

We won’t be able to see Daniel Radcliffe’s razor sharp nipples in the Broadway production of Equus until September 2008. Bummer.

Science nerds collectively gasp: Bionic Woman and Battlestar Galactica productions have been shut down due to the strike.

The New Museum on the Bowery is opening Dec. 1. Everyone is freaking out about it.

Oy vey, Louis Vuitton designed a menorah!

Mon, 12 Nov 2007 10:28:12 -0500

Sometimes, with the unimaginable chaos in Iraq half-a-world away, we must turn to young celebrities, like Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, to remind us about the horrors of war. Speaking today about his role in British television’s My Boy Jack, in which he plays pro-war propagandist Rudyard Kipling’s son, Mr. Radcliffe, 18, said: “I think it is as relevant today as it ever was with young men all over the world still sacrificing their...
