MIDTOWN — The world's most famous adolescent wizard traded in his wand for a little song and dance on Broadway at Sunday night's opening night of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying."

Daniel Radcliffe, who came to fame as the star of the fantasy series "Harry Potter," stars in the musical revival now playing at the Al Hirschfeld Theater.

Dressed in a boyish blue bowtie and a gray suit, Radcliffe played the part of  J. Pierrepont Finch, an ambitious young man attempting to climb the corporate ladder.

He last appeared on Broadway in the buff as a stable boy in the psycho-drama Equus.

Radcliffe and his vivacious co-star Tammy Blanchard dazzled at Sunday night's afterparty, held at the Plaza Hotel. While Radcliffe looked his age at 21, Blanchard was all grown up in a skin-tight silver dress that accentuated her curves. Co-star John Larroquette is also part of the cast.

Broadway giant Liza Minelli, Rob Ashford, Bernadette Peters and John Stamos also came out to party with the crew.
