Presenting an original audiobook performance of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, starring the cast of the National Theatre's 2018 Broadway revival.

In this production, adapted especially for the listening experience, Andrew Garfield, Nathan Lane, and the entire cast recreate their acclaimed performances from the 2018 Tony Award-winning National Theatre revival of Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes. With narration by Bobby Cannavale and Edie Falco, and a musical score by Adrian Sutton, this audiobook is a compelling and immersive theatrical listening experience.

A play in two parts, Millennium Approaches and Perestroika, Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes is a complex and insightful look into identity, community, justice, and redemption. New Yorkers grapple with life and death, love and sex, and heaven and hell as the AIDS crisis intensifies during a time of political reaction--the Reagan Republican counterrevolution of the 1980s. Published to celebrate the Broadway revival, this is a unique opportunity to hear one of the most honored and timeless plays in American history.

Great Play

Great play. Enjoyed the story and the acting. Cool to listen to it like an old-timey radio drama.

One of the best audible options you can listen to!

I’ve been a fan of Angels in America for years, having read the scripts and have been an avid fan of the 2003 HBO Miniseries. I had always wondered what the Broadway revival was like and when I discovered this audible listen, I immediately took advantage and couldn’t have been more satisfied and excited by what was offered. Listening to this is like being in the audience watching the show unfold before you. The cast is extraordinary, and even that is being modest on what they achieve with this iconic script from Tony Kushner. I think everyone should listen to this play, as it’s content is so important and timeless, but also, it’s an opportunity yo experience perhaps one of the greatest plays ever written.

It’s an Original Broadway Cast Recording

Glad to see the stage performances transferred to a voice cast recording of this incredible and important play.

LOVED LISTENING

i saw the play 2 times, once in NYC and once in Berkeley. Enjoyed it both times. Listening to it being read helped me understand parts of the play that were confusing to me. It is well worth the time! Tony Kushner is amazing.

Glad to relive the experience

So happy that this has been recorded for posterity. Although I can’t compare to casts in the past as I was not there to witness them, this ensemble was what I pictured all of these years and so am glad to have this to listen to in perpetuity.
