"I hope you break a leg" is grammatically correct, but is a rather unpleasant thing to say. The theatrical good luck wish is simply "Break a leg!"

Instead of "I hope you break a leg", you can alternatively say:

"Knock their socks off!"
"Show 'em what you're made of!"
"Go forth and conquer"

or if space themed:
"May the force be with you!"

as they all convey good will.

If you say "I hope you break a leg", you might as well add an arm or two since it can be quite unsettling for the person.

In a theatrical environment, you can also say "Break a leg!" It is a traditional way of saying "Good luck!" for actors.
