Angels in America/ Other show recomendation#1

Posted: 1/10/11 at 5:11pm

I don't get to visit the city a lot but I will be there in Febuary and am looking for suggestions. I love A Little Night Music, Next to Normal, Falsettos, Chorus Line; like Billy Elliot and Hair; and did not like Mary Poppins, Legally Blonde. I'm interested in seeing Angels in America, La Cage, Chicago, maybe Spider-man, but am looking for suggestions.

If you think Angels in America would suit my taste, would only seeing part 1 be fufilling or would I be left wanting more if I didn't see part 2. Also, would you recomend reading the play before seeing the show or after. And is it true that tickets are only $20?

Thanks so much for the help!

You should see both parts of AiA if at all possible. I think most people nowadays who see it go in having read the original, but it's certainly not necessary. It's kind of to a lesser extent like Coast of Utopia- it's nice to know about the Russian literature/history, but it's still an enjoyable play without it. Only in this case, it isn't Russian history, it's Mormon and Jewish religious ideologies and the AIDS crisis.

The tickets are no longer $20.00. They are now $85.00 The $20.00 was for the original run of the play and not the extensions.

$85 for each is a bit above my buget. Do they have student discounts or is there a rush?

I know there is 'stairs' seating at AiA also -- down the side aisles

There were people on the stairs when I was there 2 weeks ago, and I would imagine those seats are less

And they seem to be very nice stairs -- I would happily sit there
