The ‘Merrily We Roll Along’ star is nominated for best performance by an actor in a featured role in a musical
It’s mom and dad’s night out!
For the 2024 Tony Awards, Daniel Radcliffe stepped out with girlfriend Erin Darke to celebrate his first-ever Tony nomination. The Harry Potter alum, 34, earned his award nomination for best performance by an actor in a featured role in a musical for playing Charley Kringas in Merrily We Roll Along alongside Lindsay Mendez and Jonathan Groff.
To walk the red carpet, Radcliffe wore a custom amethyst-colored Todd Snyder tuxedo. It is made from a British mohair blend and was crafted in upstate New York at Rochester Tailored Clothing. Darke, 39, complemented him in a glittering sequin gown with an illusion neckline and intricate beading. She wore her auburn hair in a ’90s style updo with her bangs parted and completed the look with a berry colored lip.
Mendez and Groff are also nominated for their roles, and the show is nominated for best revival of a musical, best sound design, best direction and best orchestrations.
Radcliffe is up against Roger Bart, Joshua Boone, Brandon Victor Dixon, Sky Lakota-Lynch and Steven Skybell in his category.
Prior to Merrily We Roll Along, Radcliffe also had Broadway roles in The Lifespan of a Fact, The Cripple of Inishmaan, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Equus, which was his debut role in 2008. He previously starred in the show on the West End before it transferred to Broadway.
Radcliffe and Darke are enjoying their well-earned date night out for the Tony Awards after welcoming their first child together last year. Just months after his son was born, Radcliffe told Entertainment Tonight that fatherhood was already “crazy” — in the best way.
“It’s great. It’s crazy and intense, but he’s wonderful and Erin is amazing — it’s a real privilege also to have this time with him,” Radcliffe said. “I was always going to take some time off, which not everyone is able to do, and so I’m able to kind of just be here with him a lot, which is lovely.”
He later brought his son to the frontlines while picketing for SAG-AFTRA during the writers’ and actors’ strikes in New York City last summer. He, Darke and their son all showed up for the union in July, carrying signs with their fellow members.
The Tony Awards are airing live from Lincoln Center in New York City on Sunday, June 16, on CBS (8 ET/PT) and stream on Paramount+.
