What's a little singing and dancing for a guy who's already bared his ding-dong to thousands of people?

Daniel Radcliffe is heading back to Broadway, this time fully clothed in a revival of the 1961 Tony Award winner How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, opening in spring 2011.

The 20-year-old Harry Potter star will play the aristocratically named J. Pierrepont Finch, who starts off working as a window cleaner, accidentally lands an opportunity in the mailroom and rockets his way up the corporate ladder at the World Wide Wicket Co.

But we're sure Radcliffe, who's gonna have to sing and dance to make the magic happen, will be exerting plenty of effort. To give you an idea of the demeanor the role calls for, Matthew Broderick played Finch in a 1995 revival.

Radcliffe made his Broadway debut in the psychosexual drama Equus, playing a troubled boy who has a thing for horses.
