Dan and Broadway!

There were many reports of who was going to replace Dan in Equus after Dan's end of contract on June 9, but according to The Telegraph, Mr. Pugh, producer of Equus, will not be looking for replacements but he will close Equus production by June 9

"The West End's economy is brittle, especially for straight plays, but with its two stars, the revival has been a huge and unexpected success."

Mr. Pugh talked about casting and the great success this play thanks to their main stars

"Mr Pugh's decision not to recast the parts but to close it when their contracts end on June 9, after 150 performances, is a major surprise.

Straight plays, fighting for attention against musicals, struggle for audiences in the West End but Equus, staged at the high cost of £700,000, has been grossing £300,000 a week and it paid off its costs in the first nine weeks."

He also talks about Equus in Broadway

A national tour of Equus, so far uncast, is to follow the West End closure and Mr Pugh is to take the revival to Broadway in early summer next year.

Griffiths and Radcliffe have been offered the New York run, but both are said to be "still in discussions" about it.
