	Angels in America review
		"Angels in America" is set mainly in late 1985 and early 1986 in New York City.
		"Angels in America" does not really suggest that the nurse characters are angels, or at least, that they in particular are angels.
		But that is clearly not Kushner's vision of "angels;" the Angel, for instance, does not exactly conform to the common stereotype of chastity and self-sacrifice.

	The New York Review of Books: Winged Messages
		It would seem that the angels are in turmoil because God, bored by the sempiternal stasis that was life in Heaven, and "bewitched" by man's ever-evolving ingenuity, curiosity, and forward-moving aspirations, abandoned Heaven early in the twentieth century, and hasn't come back.
		And Thompson's Angel, writhing in her harness and seeming always to be on the verge of giggling, has none of the angular authority that Ellen McLaughlin brought to the role on stage, and as a result you cringe through the Angel's scenes.
		Angels presents many images of suffering: Prior's abandonment and illness; Harper's loneliness and madness; Cohn's pain; Rosenberg's death; the angels' confusion; the discrimination and racism to which Belize alludes; Hannah's nervous failure as a mother, for which her compensatory crispness can barely cover; even selfish Louis's spasms of guilt and self-torment.

		Angel investors, those wealthy individuals willing to dole out anywhere from $100,000 to $2.5 million to finance tech startups, have not all died after many flamed out.
		Hans Severiens, founder of Band of Angels, says the appetite for investments at his network is down 20%, and the big concern is the difficulty of securing follow-on financing for their tech startups now that venture capitalists have slowed down.
		Expect these angel networks to stay active now that valuations have fallen to reasonable levels, fair-weather entrepreneurs are out of the market and the competition for deals is down, many angels say.

	Filmtracks: Angels in America (Thomas Newman)
		Angels in America: (Thomas Newman) A popular production on the live stage, Angels in America is a story of religion and humanity that HBO pumped over $60 million into before debuting the six-hour show over two nights in December of 2003.
		There are a few cues in Angels in America that stand out as having heavy influences from other composers, and the interpretations of these other styles only serve to elevate Newman's work to another realm.
		If an orchestra was ever to sound so mean-spirited as to hasten the arrival of an evil, fallen angel, then these cues would be it, and their Goldenthal-like intensity of brass are fascinating to hear.

		The most interesting thing about angels is the way their existence implied that humans are not the only creatures in God’s creation.

		To those who have seen George Wolfe's Broadway production of "Angels in America, Part I-- Millennium Approaches", and found it the most satisfying theatrical experience of the last decade, this review may be hard to credit.
		Given the rehearsal conditions under which most stage work is done in America, this Trinity "Angels" might even be the most fully realized staging of a contemporary script that is ever likely to be seen in this country.
		And, like "Faustus" or "Cymbeline", the play is also populated by supernatural characters -- hallucinations, ghosts, angels -- who confront the humans with knowledge beyond the scope of their personal histories.

	SparkNotes: Angels in America: Context
		Kushner received bushels of awards for Angels in America, not least of which were Tony Awards for Best Play in 1993 and 1994 and 1993's Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
		Although men and women have engaged in homosexual behavior in all times and cultures, it was only in the twentieth century that homosexuality came to be seen as a fundamental orientation rather than a specific act.
		Angels in America opened in Los Angeles in the same week that Bill Clinton, the first presidential candidate to openly reach out to lesbian and gay voters, defeated George Bush; among gays the play inevitably became associated with a sense of euphoria and political optimism.

		Most of New York Angels' companies are further along than is typical for angels, and as you would expect out of New York, the group's portfolio has a lot of media businesses.
		Here's a group of angels, organized as an investment firm, that is dedicated to turning some of the thousands of concepts paid for by the government into companies that make money.
		Those people never come to angel groups, or if they do, they say, "My way or the highway," and that usually means the highway.

	ANGELS IN AMERICA - Al Pacino's Loft
		"Angels in America" is one of the most dazzling movies ever made for television or any other means of projecting a film, but it dazzles the mind as well as the eye.
		Within Angels lurks that great work about America itself, one that could well speak to the heartland, a work about migrations and revelations and about the essential tragedy of American and possibly even human experience, in which one person's liberation —now more than before—often means another's suffering.
		Angels in America, the play, challenged a nation deep in conflict over how to deal with its gay and lesbian citizens.

		Among Angels' provocative aspects is the vivid manner in which it depicts the horrors of AIDS, the physical scars and suffering of its victims.
		Angels' ultimate message, about the possibility for faith and progress in a world wracked with troubles, has also become more resonant: "It really deals with the central challenge of faith, which is how to believe in a God who allows things to happen that seem incomprehensible," says Callender.
		Indeed, it's not by chance that Angels begins with a rabbi discussing the journey of a woman who has just died, and ends with a young AIDS patient reflecting on his own journey in spiritual terms.

		One, Prior, is a sane, likeable man who wonders if he is crazy as he is visited by ghosts of his ancestors, and selected by angels to be a prophet (but the audience sees the ghosts and angels too).
		Angels and real historical figures, fictional characters and ghosts, all appear on stage together and challenge our conventional concepts of what is real.
		The scene at the end of the first play, when the angel comes crashing through the ceiling into Prior's sickroom, is one of the most dazzling dramatic spectacles ever staged.

	Angels In America
		This is not realistic theater (there are split scenes, where two sets of characters are on stage at once, the actors push and pull the furniture on and off stage, the Angel's wires are perfectly visible) — it's very theatrical theater.
		The angels appear in force in their deteriorating, reactionary Reaganite heaven, and people are dying right and left (I speak politically as well as literally) until, finally, life —; the deep human desire — is affirmed.
		Interesting and engrossing but far from breathtaking and brilliant, this Angels in America is, frankly, a bit of a disappointment.

	Angels in America (2003)
		Set in 1985, Angels in America follows the impact of AIDS on a group of people whose relationship to each other is circular: At the center is Prior Walter (Justin Kirk), a charismatic young WASP who has just been diagnosed with AIDS.
		Prior is visited by an Angel (Emma Thompson, who also plays Prior's nurse and a homeless woman) descending from the heavens in a very messy way (literally and symbolically), both terrifying and intriguing Prior with her insistence that he is a prophet and that he must join her.
		The only disappointing thing about the Angels in America DVD is the complete lack of extras (that, and a single scene in which the CGI just doesn't cut it—Prior's first visual hallucination in the nurse's office).

	Tony Kushner, Angels in America
		The angels: in all their glory, their grand trumpeting, and pulsating sexuality.
		AIDS and angels are the fulcrum upon which the story moves.
		Kushner intentionally juxtaposes the almost severe austerity of reality with the lush illusion of the Angel: he strongly suggests that any producer of his play should act the part of the minimalist in designing the majority of the sets.

		In the early 1990s, Tony Kushner’s “Angels in America” was lauded for its frank look at the AIDS epidemic and what it means to be gay in America.
		The critical acclaim “Angels in America” garnered the second time around proved that the piece still has resonance, despite modern audiences’ changing attitudes about homosexuality and a better understanding of AIDS.
		Although he is gay, and says he has lost more friends to AIDS than he can count, even Bayuk was attracted to the script not for its political message, but for the complexity of the relationships it depicts.

	"Angels in America"; reviewed by Gary Chew
		I’m sure, when writing Cohn’s death scenes for “Angels in America” with the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg sitting quietly as the foot of Cohn’s bed, Tony Kushner was praying that Ethel was watching him put pen to paper.
		Another facet of “Angels in America” that’s so stimulating is the way Tony Kushner weaves in arguments for different political and religious ways of thinking.
		It’s probably best that “Angels in America” has been made for cable television, for if this big Hollywood production had been distributed to cinemas around the country, it would be winning more Oscars than tickets sold.

		Tony Kushner's prize-winning play Angels in America became the defining theatrical event of the 1990s, an astonishing mix of philosophy, politics, and vibrant gay soap opera that summed up the Reagan era for an entire generation of theater-goers.
		'Angels' is one of the finest miniseries in recent memory, and like Roots, is an absolute must have for your library.
		Reading these reviews, I was surprised by a number of the comments but most of all by those that rented/bought this movie believing it was somehow about "angels" and then had the nerve to complain that they didn't know what it was about or that there were no angels in the movie.

	Angels in America
		Tony Kushner's Angels in America: Millennium Approaches is a Pulitzer Prize winning play that became the most celebrated play of the 1990s in America, and indeed around the world.
		Tony Kushner has said that he set out to write a play on "AIDS, Mormons, and Roy Cohn, and he subtitled it "A Gay Fantasia on National Themes." The play reckons with the worsening AIDS crisis in mid eighties at the very height of Ronald Reagan's conservative revolution.
		While Angels in America is an epic play of truly millennial proportions, it is also a delicate "chamber play" that depicts extraordinary ordinary people and their lives in front of a large, sprawling canvas of American history, politic, and religious and cosmological themes.
