The Tony-winning National Theatre revival of Tony Kushner’s Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes ends its limited run July 15, after opening at Broadway’s Neil Simon Theatre March 25.
Directed by Tony Award winner Marianne Elliott (War Horse), this new production of Angels in America opened to critical acclaim at the National Theatre last May, where it became the fastest-selling production in the theatre's history, and to rave reviews on Broadway in March. Earning 11 Tony Award nominations, it set a record for most-nominated play, ultimately winning three including Best Revival.
