One actor, one audience, one million reasons: *Every Brilliant Thing* traces a person sustained by reasons-to-live lists they at first made for their seriously depressed mother. Now, the method is carrying them through their own life, and they have many reasons to live to share. Notably, the unnamed character can be played by a performer of any gender, and the same goes for multiple roles filled by audience members.

The play was written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, a British comedian who originated the lead role. This production marks the play's exciting Broadway debut.

## What to watch for

- Not all audience participation roles are created equal. Some people will be given lines to say on stage, while others may have to do a little improvising. Still others will simply be called upon to read off a "brilliant thing" from their seat — which means you can participate even from the balcony.
- *Every Brilliant Thing* began its life at Edinburgh Festival Fringe and was also staged in London. 
- The show eventually moved off Broadway, where Ben Brantley gave it a Critic's Pick in The New York Times.
- *Every Brilliant Thing* is directed by Jeremy Herrin and Duncan Macmillan.
- The solo show has performed in dozens of countries with stars at the helm, including Minnie Driver in London in 2025. Daniel Radcliffe and Mariska Hargitay previously led the Broadway production, with Radcliffe earning a Tony nomination.

*Every Brilliant Thing*, starring Tracee Ellis Ross, is a play about a person who creates a gratitude list to help their mother cope with depression before adopting the practice themself.

Get *Every Brilliant Thing* tickets to see *Black-ish* star Tracee Ellis Ross make her Broadway debut from July 7 to August 9! *Every Brilliant Thing* has played around the world in more than 80 countries; when it came to off Broadway a decade ago, The New York Times awarded it a Critic's Pick, and in 2026, *Every Brilliant Thing* became a Tony Award nominee for Best Play Revival.

In *Every Brilliant Thing*, a person makes a list of reasons to live, initially an idea he used for their seriously depressed mother. But eventually, they make the lists for themselves to remember what they are grateful for and what keeps them motivated and moving. Out of this list comes wild and memorable stories.

“There’s something about the nature of this play and the connection that is being constantly made with the audience, from before the play even starts when I’m out there interacting with people as they come into the room, that I’m very intrigued by and excited by,” Radcliffe said in an interview with The New York Times. “This play is built with the audience new every night.”

The play was written by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe, a British comedian who originated the lead role. Jeremy Herrin directs with Macmillan, who debuted the show through sold-out runs at three consecutive Edinburgh Festivals. It's a play that not only anyone can relate to, but perform in: Daniel Radcliffe and Mariska Hargitay previously led the Broadway show, and audience members are picked for select roles each night.

Hudson Theatre - TodayTix

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/venues/lyric-theatre-ny). 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.
