Law and Order’s Mariska Hargitay is set to make her Broadway debut this spring as the star of the solo show Every Brilliant Thing. “It feels like an extraordinary gift to make my Broadway debut, the fulfillment of a lifelong dream, with a play that affirms life so emphatically,” the 62-year-old actress said. The 85-minute production follows a character compiling a list of reasons to stay alive, originally written for their mother after a suicide attempt. Written by Duncan Macmillan and Jonny Donahoe, the play also involves audience participation, with attendees sometimes asked to take on roles. “I read Every Brilliant Thing and cried, rejoiced, laughed, cried some more, and loved it so much. I’m always drawn to themes of healing and renewal, especially when the journey is rendered in all its complexity,” Hargitay said. The Law and Order star is set to take on the role once Daniel Radcliffe’s run ends on May 24. She will stay on until the end of the play’s run at the Hudson Theater on June 28.
