I know some found Rob Ashford's staging and choreography of ''Brotherhood of Man'' in that 2011 ''How to Succeed'' revival overly busy.

But not me. I loved it and saw that show a number of times, and ''Brotherhood'' was always such a crowdpleaser. At a few of the performances I caught, the audience broke into applause a couple of times DURING the number. What astonished me was that Daniel Radcliffe had never done a musical before, let alone one on Broadway. And there he was doing the same tricky dance moves that all of his fellow cast members were doing in ''Brotherhood.'' It's not like Ashford had dumbed down or simplified the dancing for the star. In recent interviews, Radcliffe still talks glowingly about how proud he was of his work in ''How to Succeed'' and still has reunions with the cast. Also astonishing: Radcliffe never missed a single performance, playing all 30 previews and 315 regular shows.

Radcliffe must've felt so proud to have former Finchs Robert Morse and Matthew Broderick introduce his ''Brotherhood of Man'' at the 2012 Tonys.
