I believe you are right. There were a lot of issues keeping the major players of the cast together - and perhaps someone decided that maybe this wouldn't be a hit. I enjoyed it, but hard to see it having legs to recoup on Broadway without stars. If it had transferred immediately it would have played into all the Oscar excitement around McDonagh

Two of McDonagh's earlier plays recouped on Broadway: Beauty Queen and Pillowman. However, others like Inishmore, Spokane, and Inishmaan were commercial failures despite two of them having stars like Christopher Walken and Daniel Radcliffe. All of his plays certainly do well at the Atlantic and have all been well received in various Chicago regional theaters. Hangmen scared the bejesus out of me, but made me laugh at the same time. Perhaps Broadway is not the best way to go for it.
