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.

New York Broadway. I didn't know there is one in London. Maybe they'll replace Dan for the American showing. He'd better do HBP.
I'm in New York, I dunno if I'd see it..

Well, this could be a rumor. I mean, HBP starts filming later this year and if Equus hits Broadway at that same time, how is Dan gonna do that and HP. He can't be in 2 places at once.

That would be wonderful for it to come to the states, but I would much rather them get the Harry Potter filming going. The kids aren't getting any younger and I would like Emma to stay until the end. Boy that is a hard choice to make.

Well even if it does, that's still really far away from me. I have a feeling that its all talk and Eqqus won't really be hitting New York's Broadway this Fall, but who knows.

I agree with LenaLovesRupert, how can you be in two places at once? But I mean hey, if it IS true, awesome for people here in the U.S. that wanted to see it.

They'd probably have to replace Dan though if it conflicted with his HBP commitments so I doubt it's true for him... probably just a rumor just now since they don't know who the play will be recieved in London yet!

It may just be a rumor, or it may not be acurate information. It has been printed that a broadway producer by the name of Roger Berlind, saw the play in London on its first preview day. After seeing Richard and Dan perform, Berlind stated that he was very interested in raising funds for a Broadway (NY) showing should the British producers wish to extend the play overseas AND that both Richard and Dan be on hand to reprise their roles. Obviously, should this event take place, it would have to be scheduled around the HP films, just as the London showing has been. It any case, I would definitely being seeing it in New York if it came to that!!! I only wish I could make it to England before the last June date! :(

If this production does come to Broadway, they may have to recast Dan... oh hang on. He'd be 18 years old in July, so by fall he's be legally allowed to "bare all" in the US. Had he been 17, they would have had to recast him. Well, this is just a rumour, so until something more definite surfaces, we should not hold our breaths.

I would leap at the first opportunity to attend this play that I could, especially if, as AncientJoy stated, the producers intend to retain the original actors from the United Kingdom edition. New York City is far closer to me than London; I can assure you I would buy tickets. :)

Thats sounds really good for Dan and the article does say that the production would likely happen after filming of HBP was complete.

If it does, either he isn't going to be in many of the shows here, or he won't be in any at all.
