Just a thought:
Angels in America is a massive critically acclaimed miniseries, and its main plotline is about AIDS victims during the 1980s.
Rent remains a cult show at the fringe (quite literally) of Broadway, and features one AIDS death and three of the other principals are HIV+.
The Boy from Oz is about a performer who died of AIDS. So is Taboo (well, one of its plotlines is). And Boy from Oz, at least, seems to be a certifiable hit, and rakes in massive cash for Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS.
Is it possible that theatre's doing something real about getting people thinking about AIDS as a serious problem?
