John Larroquette joins an ex-wizard on Broadway

[October 21, 2010]  NEW YORK (AP) -- John Larroquette will be making his Broadway debut opposite former "Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe in "How to Succeed in Business (Without Really Trying)."

Larroquette, a five-time Emmy Award winner, will play the role of head honcho J.B. Biggley to Radcliffe's corporate ladder-climber in the musical comedy.

The production is directed and choreographed by Tony and Emmy awards winner Rob Ashford. It has music and lyrics by Frank Loesser and is based on the book by Shepherd Mead.

Previews begin Feb. 26 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

Larroquette, who is known for his TV roles on "Night Court" and "Boston Legal," was last seen in the off-Broadway production of "Oliver Parker!"
