Show Summary - Angels in America Angels in America, the two-part masterpiece written by Tony Kushner, is being revived on Broadway for the first time since its debut in 1993.  The two parts, dubbed Angels in America: Millennium Approaches, and Angels in America: Perestroika, are revived simultaneously at the Neil Simon Theatre, together amounting to over seven hours of glorious theatre. The play is subtitled “A Gay Fantasia on National Themes,” and is an ingenious exploration of identity, illness, and American culture, set against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis and the Reagan administration.  This production transfers to Broadway after a highly lauded run at London’s National Theatre. The plays are directed by Marianne Elliott, whose Broadway credits include The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time and War Horse, incidentally two of the most successful British transfers to Broadway in recent years.  A staggering masterwork, Angels in America: Millennium Approaches earned the Pulitzer Prize for Drama as well as the Tony Award for Best Play in 1993, while Angels in America: Perestroika won the Tony Award for Best Play in 1994. The plays were also adapted into a successful HBO mini-series in 2003, directed by Mike Nichols and starring Al Pacino, Meryl Streep, Jeffrey Wright, and Mary-Louise Parker. With this superb cast, this modern classic of American theatre is not to be missed during its limited engagement.
