'Harry Potter's' Daniel Radcliffe not nude, but knows 'How to Succeed'

Daniel Radcliffe is returning to Broadway, but this time he's trading his birthday suit in for a business suit.

The "Harry Potter" star will appear in a revival of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," reports the AP.

The musical will star Radcliffe as J. Pierrepont Finch, an ambitious window washer who somehow works his way up the corporate ladder with a few clever tricks and no real experience, thanks to his trusty self-help business guide.

This will test Radcliffe's singing and dancing abilities, another side of the actor "Harry Potter" fans have yet to see. Of course, they saw quite a bit of him already in his previous Broadway run with "Equus" in which he appeared nude.


Some other plum roles include Finch's love interest Rosemary, his office rival Bud Frump and office sex kitten Hedy LaRue.

"How to Succeed" is set to open in spring 2011. The original musical was made into a 1967 musical and then was mounted as a revival in 1995 starring Matthew Broderick and Megan Mullally.

What do you think of the casting? Who'd make a good Rosemary? Hedy LaRue?
