| I didn't say he was motivated to do the show for the chance at a Tony. I'm speculating, I think very reasonably, why he would not only want this Merrily to transfer to broadway (assuming it's well received), but be planning for that possibility in taking the role in the first place. Obviously if he was hell bent on a Tony nom for his next show, this wouldn't be what anyone would consider a slam dunk. But I do think if this show is well reviewed and moves to Broadway, there's very little chance that all 3 are not nominated for Tonys. Whether they have a shot to win is another story, but I do absolutely think Radcliffe would get that elusive first Tony nom for this if it transfers. And though I don't think that likely possibility is why he was motivated to take the role, or the sole reason he'd want it to move to Broadway, I am certain he and his team are very aware of this element being at play. |
