We have been receiving emails all morning letting us know that Harry Potter actors Daniel Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths are planning
to take the current production of Equus, which closes on June 9th on London's West End, to Broadway in 2008.
Please note that both Dan and Richard were only scheduled to participate in the play till June 9th and recent speculation of extending the run with new actors has previously been reported online and have subsequently been denied.
We are trying to have this news confirmed and will update once we know more.

Interesting comments. I don't know that they would want to do an extended run in New York. They might do a short one, but I can't see it going for long due to Dan's other commitments.

That would be cool. I'd see it.
But yeah, with all Dan's other projects an extended run would be near impossible.

I'd definitely go see it if I could.

Is this for sure? How will Daniel have time to fit this into his extremely busy schedule?

That is so amazing if they really do bring it to Broadway. It is impossible for me to get to London to see it. Now I just need to wait til next year.

Will Dan be able to come to broadway? Because won't he be filming another HP movie? Maybe Equus will come, but with different actors for Dan's part? I'm not sure though, but I don't think Dan will have enough time to fit the play into his schedual.

Well, even so, I wouldn't be able to attend unless it was a traveling show, since it would be in NY, but it would be cool if they were able to do that.

No doubt, it´s going to be very busy for Dan this year. Maybe next year I can attend to play at Broadway, who knows.

This news is quite interesting. Hopefully, if they do bring it to Broadway, it doesn't interfere with the filming of the movies and they accomodate the play in between them! I would give anything to buy tickets toi see it if it were in the states.

It would be nice if it's true for those who couldn't make it to London. Maybe this time won't turn out to be a rumor.

Unfortunately, if Richard wishes to continue to act and perform, especially in 2008 and beyond he needs to lose a major amount of weight and improve his health.

They should come to Las Vegas! We have a lot of hit shows coming here, and as much as I would like to go to New York to see them, it's just not in the cards right now. Oh, it'd be so awesome if they came to Vegas. I really want to see this play! Just as a theatre student, it sounds amazing.

I don't think it will, or if it does go to Broadway it proberly won't be with Dan, as i don't think he'll have the time. I would like to see it tho.

It will probably all depend on the filming schedule. I am willing to bet that they will end up replacing one or the other at some point if it is on broadway do to scheduling conflicts.

I had no idea it had gotten that big. It seemed like such a small thing at one point. But good for them. Broadway is a big step.

The story is about a boy named Allan (played by Dan) who molests horses. In one scene, he and another girl are naked together on stage. Not exactly a family play.

That would be awesome!!! It would be great if Dan comes to Broadway! I hope hpana can confirm it's true.
Everyones says Dan and Richard are awesome in the play and I would love to see it, it's a very beautiful play, if you know what it's really about and not what the media and some ignorants invent.
ravenbeaut, it would not mean nothing, he would do it between the filming of the last HP movies. :)
