Daniel Radcliffe signs some autographs for fans on opening night for the Broadway play Equus at the Broadhurst Theatre in NYC on Friday.

Equus has opened to mostly positive reviews, with a particular focus on Radcliffe’s performance and his seven-minute nude scene on stage.

The production will run for a limited engagement through February 8th, 2009.

The 19-year-old Harry Potter star took the cover of the October 2008 issue of Details Magazine.

Harry Poter star Daniel Radcliffe enters Broadhurst Theatre in New York City early Sunday morning to rehearse for his new play Equus.

Radcliffe plays the disturbed Alan Strang, a seemingly normal 17-year-old who is fascinated by horses but inexplicably blinds six of them. The play, which has Radcliffe naked by the end of the play, tries to understand why.

“Offended mothers were calling up and saying I shouldn’t be doing this, that they weren’t going to go see it,” Radcliffe admitted recently. “OK, don’t see it. They’re treating it like it’s pornography, and it’s not. It’s only seven minutes at the end of the play when I’m naked, and I’m 19 now.”

This will be Radcliffe’s Broadway debut. Previews start this Friday and opens Sept. 25.

Aug. 25 -- Daniel Radcliffe claims his success is down to "dumb luck". The actor shot to fame at the age of 11 after winning the role of Harry Potter in the movie versions of J.K.

Rowling's children's books, but insists his success is down to a combination of good fortune and hard work.

He said: "I got where I am by dumb luck. You only deserve what you have if you work hard. I know most actors hoped for a job, and then found themselves between jobs. For me, it was a great job at 11. "I'm a person who got lucky very young, but I was brought up with a work ethic -- show up on time, work hard and do your lines."

The 19-year-old star -- who is about to reprise his role as a horse-obsessed stable boy in the Broadway run of "Equus" -- admits his parents were unsure about letting him commit to the franchise.

He explained: " 'No, absolutely not', is what they said when I was younger, but they're pleased now."

Daniel Radcliffe, star of the Harry Potter films, is in pure shock as he walks the red carpet at the 2008 Tony Awards held at Radio City Music Hall on Sunday in New York City.

Radcliffe, 18, is planning his Broadway debut later this year in Equus. He will be reprising the role he first performed in London’s West End. He appears naked on stage!
