Equus officially opened on Broadway last night, September 25th, after beginning previews on September 5. BroadwayWorld.com's cameras were there as the cast took their first official bow together and then celebrated at New York City's Pier 66.
Equus reunites the two stars of the wildly successful "Harry Potter" films:
Daniel Radcliffe, who portrays the brilliant young wizard, Harry Potter, and
Richard Griffiths, who appears as Harry's Uncle Vernon Dursley. Mr. Griffiths was last seen on Broadway in 2006 when he won the Tony Award for Best Actor for "The History Boys."
Mr. Griffiths and Mr. Radcliffe starred together in
Equus during its acclaimed engagement in London's West End last year.
Kate Mulgrew is also featured in the cast of
Equus on Broadway.
In
Equus, psychiatrist Martin Dysart investigates the blinding of six horses, a savage act committed by a mild-mannered stable boy, Alan Strang, whose home life is filled with bigotry and religious fervor. As Dysart reveals the mysteries behind the boy's demons, he realizes he is confronting his own.
