Actor Daniel Radcliffe shows off his burlesque skills in a new clip from Miracle Workers, the new anthology comedy about the American Old West.
The new season, titled Oregon Trail, sees the actor step into the role of the up-tight Reverend Brown, a preacher that teams with outlaw Benny the Teen (Steve Buscemi) and prairie wife Prudence Aberdeen (Geraldine Viswanathan) to traverse America in the 1840s. Benny and Prudence tease the Reverend about being too uptight, which inspires him to drink a copious amount of snake oil. Things get silly from there.

“Daniel was excited about the idea of the dance sequence as soon as we pitched it to him,” showrunners Daniel Mirk and Robert Padnick told Entertainment Weekly. “He developed the dance with a choreographer and practiced it extensively on his own time, and obviously his hard work paid off because the routine is amazing.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
That routine sees Radcliffe donning assless chaps and bumping & grinding to a dance mix of “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain.” We can’t help but think of Dr. Frank-N-Furter of The Rocky Horror Picture Show while we watch Radcliffe dance.
Have a look. Miracle Workers: Oregon Trail is available now to stream from TBS.

Dammit…I expected this to be totally ass-less so we could see what he’s got. Instead we get a green Speedo? I am verklempt…but damn, he’s cute…
PoetDaddy
Kyle, you should have seen our Daniel on Broadway in “Equus.” No green Speedo. No chaps, either. No… anything. Just the man himself. N-a-k-e-d.

Yep. A simple Google search will reveal that beautiful photo of him.

Now THAT made me laugh! Will JK Rowling “approve”? LOL

Why are comments in support of females being censored? Rowling’s has been supportive of LGBTQ individuals AND females.

What a hoot(and a holler) to see Daniel having so much fun! His choreographer must have had fun too. I wish the sequence had been longer. Yeehaw!!

YES I WANTED TO SEE HIS ASS ALSO. I DO NEED TO LOOK UP EQUUS.
