I saw both Hopkins and Burton in Equus and I thought they were equally good, though my impression of Burton may have been colored by the fact that I saw him from one of the on-stage seats and was only a few feet away from him. (I think those seats were about $12.) I remember that when he exited the stage after the curtain call, he went right out a door at the back of the stage and into a waiting limo. I thought that was very cool. I also saw him in the 1980 Camelot revival, and he seemed … tired.

I think the stage seats were more around $5-$7. Hard to be sure as no prices for those seats were listed in the ABCs ads. Top price for orchestra when Burton was in the show was $15. Only one other play on Broadway had a top price that high: A Matter of Gravity. Generally, top price for musicals was $15, with just a couple of shows higher than that and several musicals lower. Anyway, those stage seats were marketed (exclusively?) to students, and they were low priced, at least as I remember it.
