Yeah yeah we know. Groan. Well, you can hardly blame us for the headline. We all knew the press would have a field day with this one, but luckily for our Daniel Radcliffe, they've all been more than kind about his London stage debut, Equus, and after this one, the world's favourite wizard will no doubt have his pick of parts in the West End.
Our theatre guys had a ball at the press night last week and Mark could hardly wait to enthuse about Daniels 'performance' to the young star himself. In fact, he stopped moaning altogether about his Oscars invite getting lost in the post as they they all had a fab night anyway, hobnobbing with the likes of Tara Palmer Tomkinson - who was getting in on the horsey fun. As usual. The Geldof Girls were there on cue, although neither even tried coming onto Daniel - a story in itself, don't you think! Graham Norton, Helena Bonham Carter, Richard E Grant and Stephen Fry were all enjoying the champers, although each was outshadowed in the fame stakes by the glorious Gail from Corrie, naturally. Christian Slater was there, prompting rumours about a possible West End return, following the success of his lead role on One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest last year. Come back Christian, you've got our vote as Daniel's understudy anyway,... we'd only come for the last ten minutes obviously, but we'd come every night. Ahem.
A fine erection indeed is the scaffolding outside the theatre, drawing every eye on Shaftesbury 
Avenue towards the show for maximum publicity. Way to go, well it's definitely working as tickets are hot property. You might want to remember to leave the kids at home though. This is raunchy stuff. The little wizard fans will have to wait for the inevitable Happy Potter musical, which is surely in the pipeline for when the movies wrap. Some things are just meant to be.
Meanwhile, if you're over 18, get in quick before the show sells out. We'll be bringing you a full review next week but for now, have an ogle at that bum. It seems that riding broomsticks and dragons for the past few years has done wonders for Daniel. We can't wait for the fitness video...
