Reports are surfacing
online that the current production of Equus on London's West End featuring Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths will be Broadway (New York) bound.
According to the article, the producers of the play hope to bring the play to New York in the Fall of 2007. This may sound a bit farfetched as filming for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is scheduled to start later this year.

I was actually kind of hoping the play would come to the US. To bad Dan may not be able to reprise his role in the play if filming is set to start this fall. Well he may be able to do it on the off times that he's not needed on set maybe?

Oooh! Please tell me they'd come to Las Vegas (where I live) too! We've got lots of broadway shows here! I really, really want to see it! I'd love to go to New York to see it, but that's not likely. Please come to Vegas Equus!

Wow that would be awesome! I've always wanted to see a show on broadway and I would definately travel there to see it. I just hope that they work the schedules so that Dan can do the movie then do the play! I would rather him do the movie than the play but it would be cool if he could do both!

Ow ow, Dan! He looks good in that picture! But aside from that... I will be so excited if Equus comes to Broadway. No joke, I will fly to the other side of the country to see it!

I don't think thats possible- aside from HBP, Dan has to film my boy jack or ITV as well...

I do not think they will go to broadway if it is up to Warner brothers, they need Daniel Radcliffe to bad and I do not think Daniel will go and travel 20 times a week

I'm finding it difficult to believe that Equus would be going to Broadway. But if Equus does end up going I don't think Daniel would be reprising his role in it. I'm pretty sure this is a rumour started by some Harry Potter crazed fan in the US who just really wants to see Daniel.

The play may be going to Broadway, but I wouldn't think Dan will be going.

I think it's just a rumor. Dan and Richard Griffith won't have the time to go on Broadway.

Oooo it must be good if its going all the way to broadway, but then why wouldn't it be good if Dan's in it, i've heard great things about it, great things! Such a shame i'm not going to see it really!

Mate, with the amount of money they will be making off this play, it would be worth their while to go broadway

Very interesting. I can't imagine we prudish Americans can handle such a thing. Hahaha...I also would be extremely surprised that Dan and Richard would be able to perform in it on broadway. They would probably have to recast the whole crew. But it is very interesting.

I do not believe it will but it would be extremely cool for both Dan and all the American lovahs!! (in the meantime I just remain very very lucky being a (temporary) Brit girl)

Well, I have no idea what would qualify for going to broadway and what would not, so I really wouldn't know if it does.

If it does come to broadway I think they will replace Dan and possibly even Richard Griffiths. Not sure how well Broadway would respond to it though.

Wow Broadway would be awesome!!! There's no way I could make it to London and I feel like I'm missing out on a fantastic performance by Dan. Fingers crossed but wouldn't that interfer too much with HBP filming.

If Dan stars in the show than I am going to New York to see him!!!
But if that means delaying HPHBP than forget it!! Get the filming done!
