Daniel is one of several Swings and Understudies who are given high praise by Hugh Jackman, in probably the most moving post-show speech in recent Broadway history. (Backstory: https://observer.com/2021/12/remarks-by ... community/ )

It’s common for theater actors to show up on their first day of rehearsal with a few ideas about how they’d like to play the character they were hired to perform.

And then there’s Daniel Patrick Russell, who will play the lead role of Christopher Boone in CCAE Theatricals’ San Diego premiere of “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time,” opening Friday in Escondido.

Russell arrived on day one in January with a 20,000-word document he’d filled with his thoughts and ideas about playing Christopher, a 15-year-old English boy who embarks on a solo journey one night to solve the murder of his neighbor’s dog and another mystery. Christopher is on the autism spectrum, and many scenes of the 2012 play are told from the perspective of how he sees and interacts with the world around him.

“The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” sounds like a great role for him. Congrats Daniel!
