Nick Jonas is to take over Daniel Radcliffe's role in the Broadway production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying in January.
Radcliffe has been playing the lead role in the show as J. Pierrepont Finch, a young window washer who tries to climb the corporate ladder.
Radcliffe will end his run at the end of the year and will be replaced first by Darren Criss from Glee. Criss is the guy from Glee who sings for the "Warblers" and dates Kurt and sings that awesome all-male cover of Katy Perry's "Teenage Dreams"? Ringing any bells? Hopefully, otherwise I am embarrassingly educated about Glee.

The show, called Viva Forever, is being produced by Simon Fuller’s new company XIX, along with Universal and Judy Craymer, the producer behind the stage and film versions of Mamma Mia!.
Craymer said in a statement, "I want to create a unique celebration of the band and its music, with its own flavor and joyful message. It is important to me that the excitement, style and humor of the Spice Girls is well represented on stage."
The story will be its own however, rather than being based upon the lives of the former Spice Girls. It would be cool if one of the women was in the show though! We could see Victoria Beckham doing Broadway! And Melanie Brown has gotten tons of experience doing Peepshow!
