'Equus' on Broadway next year
'Equus' on Broadway next year A new report claims that the stars of the hugely successful play, Dan Radcliffe and Richard Griffiths, will reprise their roles for a planned Broadway transfer in the summer of 2008. This has not yet been confirmed by official sources, but we will update you as we hear more.

"Equus" is scheduled to finish in London on June 9th. It will then embark on a 12-week UK tour with a new cast, led by Richard Fleeshman.

awesome!


Posted by AnyaMarcos Apr 20th 2007

That's cool. I'm not sure if Dan will be allowed to bare it all in the States though, since he's not officially an adult here until he's 18.


Posted by Quiscalus Apr 20th 2007

That's great! AnyaMarcos - won't he be 18 in summer of '08? His birthday is in July I believe.


Posted by AnyaMarcos Apr 20th 2007

Quis, I just checked his DOB, and he's going to be 18 this summer, and 19 next summer, so no worries there. I was thinking he was younger.

Eh...still don't know how I feel about Equus.


Posted by bubblegumgirl Apr 20th 2007

sounds cool


Posted by Nikki_85 Apr 20th 2007

good for him, hope it goes well if he does.


Posted by dovetripct Apr 20th 2007

I did get the opportunity to see Equus with Dan and Richard twice. As phenomenonal as it was let's look at reality here...DAN WILL BE FILMING HBP AND DH BACK TO BACK(according to his representative's reports). There is no way he will have time to do a reprise any sooner than 2010 or 2011. Also, he will most likely spend a fair amount of time promoting the last of the HP stuff(DVD's etc.) Then we're looking at the 10th anniversary of SS/PS. I do think he'll be too busy for Equus on Broadway. I wish it would happen, but I don't think it will. If it does, I will be surprised and delighted!


Posted by DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY Apr 20th 2007

Wait....I thought he was turning 17 this year....darn....now i can't get married to him......YET.......but still....I'm not interested in seeing it. I'm a bit nervous to see Dan naked...in the US....and I'm 13.....


Posted by 8squishy_fishy8 Apr 20th 2007

He is not going to be in it I hope you know-he will be way to busy to do Broadway.....although it would have been AWESOME if he would....


Posted by madmuggle15 Apr 20th 2007

:O


Posted by ninja58 Apr 20th 2007

Does that mean he's gonna have short hair in HBP? I really hope not.


Posted by ChicaBonita Apr 20th 2007

Sweet!


Posted by valsul Apr 20th 2007

that be cool. but like 8squishy_fishy8 said he will be to busy with half blood prince to do broad way. i cant wait untill it comes out. besides his short hair looks better.


Posted by AliceFO Apr 20th 2007

Richard Fleeshman. :/ He won't be a patch on Dan, seriously.


Posted by sirius_rox Apr 20th 2007

Why did you have to mention Equus again!? why, why?! why did you have to go wrong Mugglenet?! Why!! please, just do us all a favor and save that for his website!


Posted by iwishiwashermione Apr 20th 2007

that would be so cool if the broadway version has the original cast. i also hope they come to chicago afterwards.


Posted by dracodragon Apr 20th 2007

If Equus does go to Broadway, I will so be there. I'd love to see it. I've heard nothing but good things.


Posted by james_prongs Apr 20th 2007

THAT PLAY HAS GOT TO BE SOOOO ''STUPID''!!!!! WHY WOULD ANYONE IN THERE RIGHT MIND GO TO IT!!! AND WHAT WAS DAN THINKING SIGNING FO SUCH A ''STUPID, STUPID, STUPID,'' PLAY IT WILL RUIN HIS REP AFTER ALL THOSE AMAZING HARRY POTTER MOVIES!!


Posted by lovexlaugh_potter Apr 20th 2007

a tour with a new cast wouldn't be as much fun without dan and richard right?


Posted by candykidsdoitbetter Apr 20th 2007

haha hey everyone happy 4-20!! lets get f***ed up. i know i am. stay safe, dont make yourselves to retarded


Posted by beautifuljkc Apr 20th 2007

As much as I love to see naked guys having love affairs with their horses, I think I'll pass. I agree that this play is lame. Thanks anyway, I would rather meet him as Harry Potter or on another episode of Extras, LMAO!!


Posted by i_loverz_HP Apr 20th 2007

this better not mess up filming the harry potter movies because those are so much more important then equus SERIOUSLY and i miss his long hair hopefully he grows it out. but otherwise i really wanna see the play that would be freakin amazing!!!!! and hopefully then keep the naked part in there!


Posted by domp Apr 20th 2007

well.... depending on how they schedule everything.... dan might or might not have time. If they schedule the play during post production for HBP, then he could probably do it, and finish just as DH goes into production..... If he does end up doing it in broadway, I am DEFINATELY there. I have read parts of Equus, and I really like it. True.... wierdo having a love affair with horses, but the play actually focuses on his psychology, and not the actions themselves which puts everything in a whole new light. Anyone else who cant see that just needs to get some maturity.


Posted by AnyaMarcos Apr 20th 2007

Fine, candykids, you're desperate for attention. Here you go. Ohhhh you're so mean to make fun of it being April 20th! Ohhhh I'm like sooo OMG mad at you.... Ohhhh you're so OMG cutting and controversial to make fun of Columbine like that.... how cool you are and how I so desperately want to be Just Like You. Hapy now? Good. Go away. And people, don't make stupid comments about a play you've never read or seen. Jesus Christ in a miniskirt.


Posted by candykidsdoitbetter Apr 20th 2007

Posted by AnyaMarcos Apr 20th 2007

Oh my goodness, candykids, I am so sorry! I thought you were mocking Columbine. My apologies. Weed day, eh? I could get on board with that. As long as 4/21 is Doritos day. :-D


Posted by candykidsdoitbetter Apr 20th 2007

ahahaha helll yah. todays gonna be badass make sure you celebrate!! peace!!!


Posted by logangb456 Apr 20th 2007

Yeah, guys that sounds like a great idea!! lets talk about weed on a Harry Potter website!!! that's right! the very same series that people have been trying to ban since it first came out because they think it teaches kids immoral things!!! (weed does = immoral, in case you were wondering ... )


Posted by DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY Apr 20th 2007

Equus is hopefully NOT coming to Boston. My parents know I love Dan Radcliffe and if it does come....they probably will surprise me and buy tickets. NO!!!


Posted by candykidsdoitbetter Apr 20th 2007

hah. its not that bad, there's much much much worse out there...trust me. if you smoke a little on 420 youre really not causing harm to your body, its just one day...lets just chill...peace&&love guys


Posted by sirius_rox Apr 20th 2007

james_prongs, thank you for saying that! :)


Posted by DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY Apr 20th 2007

YA....EQUUS IS WORSE THAN HP....DUH..this IS Mugglenet, you know.


Posted by DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY Apr 20th 2007

Today is Grindelwald's birthday.....I think.


Posted by nearly_headless_nick Apr 20th 2007

That would be great! I have wanted to see it since the opening night and I would be able to travel to NY if they come!! it would be fantastic for Dan if he comes to Broadway! I've read that the OotP trailer will be released this Sunday!! it's not confirmed yet. :)


Posted by Dormanthegr8 Apr 20th 2007

Ok seriously, this has boiled down to girls talking about how much they love Dan and want to see him naked, stoned kids talking about 4-20, and then the "mature" people talking about how much they like the complex psychological plot in Equus... Shouldn't we all be noticing that there are only 91 days left until NIRVANA! hahaha. Oh, and for those wondering, I'm not sure about this, but you know how cops abbreviate language with their little book of numbers? Apparently the one for weed possesion is 4-20, hence weed day is 4/20... aka today.


Posted by HPfreak4ever Apr 20th 2007

freaking awesome! i am so there!


Posted by candykidsdoitbetter Apr 20th 2007

yup i knew that i forgot when it started tho...the whole cop thing i mean. one of my friends actually told me it started in like the 30's or something thats crazy


Posted by phoenixknight Apr 20th 2007

And that's why my friends AnyaMarcos is brainless, someone's on crack, ROFL!


Posted by DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY Apr 20th 2007

Today is Grindelwald's birthday.....I think.


Posted by DanielRadcliffeIsSEXY Apr 20th 2007

Off-topic...but I noticed something in a deleted scene from the first HP movie...the scene shows Harry and Ron playing cards as Hermione reads about Nicholas Flamel. If you look closely at the cards Harry and Ron are playing with, you'll see that they are Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards. OMG product placement!


Posted by Victory Apr 20th 2007

Hey AnyaMarcos... Your blasphemous comments are entirely uncalled for on a website devoted to all things Harry Potter. And incidentally... I feel this whole Equus thing is way outta place also! I mean really - it has NOTHING to do with HP! It makes me feel down right sick to have something so blatantly disgusting discussed among such an enjoyable thing as Harry Potter.


Posted by flippinfool13 Apr 20th 2007

OMGSH!!!! Thats amazing!!!!


Posted by fadnin2beautlite Apr 20th 2007

I hope this is true cuz I'd totally go to see it. this is sweet!


Posted by soccerluver13 Apr 20th 2007

OMG. I'm so going.


Posted by keturah_ketchup Apr 20th 2007

I hope that it does!!! I would love to see it!!!


Posted by Harryfan20 Apr 20th 2007

Victory, I agree. This really doesn't have a whole lot in common with Harry Potter, apart from the fact that the actor in the movie is doing other stuff. I think after Dealthy Hallows comes out, my visits here will be less frequent. I don't really care about the movies, nor what the actors are moving on to.


Posted by merry_muggle Apr 20th 2007

OMG! I was waitiung for it to come to NYC...now i can actually see it.
