WOW all the reviews are very very positive! Congratulations Dan!!!
""He wants it all, that Daniel Radcliffe. Having landed what is unquestionably the best film role for a male teenager, he is now making his West End stage debut in what is for my money the best theatrical role for a male teenager."
"As the evening goes on, there are moments when he touches, even if not tugs at, the heart strings."
"Daniel Radcliffe brilliantly succeeds in throwing off the mantle of Harry Potter, announcing himself as a thrilling stage actor of unexpected range and depth."
"As Alan Strang, Daniel Radcliffe is a total revelation. Casting off his Harry Potter magician’s hat, he gives a performance of amazing maturity. At the right times boyishly cute and winsome, he is also convincingly troubled, withdrawn and disturbed, bursting into fury in a way that is for one special moment quite heart-breaking."

How exciting! I only read a couple of the reviews, but they both said that the play was wonderful and kept its original intensity. Apparently Dan performed quite well, too, but was there really ever any doubt? :)

Wow - the Telegraph's review was phenomenal - just so amazing that Daniel has evolved from the wide-eyed little 11-year-old, to this powerful electrifying stage presence of 17. He has SUCH an amazing future.
Sorry - the photos from Getty Images couldn't be found???

Well, this is difinitely a big step for Dan, but I'm guessing that with all of the positive reviews he's getting, he's up to it. Hope he doesn't get to big for Harry, like that's possible

The plot of this film is... unusual. It's definiatly not for those with heart conditions and or moral issues of... basically everything. Nice work Daniel Radciffe... interesting choice for your debut onto the stage! Very umm... grown up?
No matter how odd this play is or how wierd I think it is he still looks pretty darn hot doing it!

Well, I'm just glad he's getting good reviews... it would be a shame for all this hype and the media to attack him. Good for him, maybe now he'll get many more opportunities so that he's not 'the guy who played harry potter' which is an easy thing for an actor to fall into. Yay for Dan! ;o)
