I just seen this one and though it was brillant.
To be clear I think Angels in America is a masterpiece and Kushner's words still are as perfect as possible. Elliott was the woman behind two of the most ''creative'' plays of this decade and she's using everything she can to bring this to life, from the Angels to the shadows and neon lights, it's perfection.
The cast ranges from very good to sheer perfection: Susan Brown may be the least great, but still amazing. Stewart-Jarret took a bit of time to get Belize right, but when he did, it was amazing. Lane was interesting, still an one-liner assassin, but I've never seen him so straight in my entire life. Tovey is limited, but tried everything and has an amazing ass. McArdle is a perfect Louis, even though he had a monologue issue. The two stand-outs are Denise Gough and Andrew Garfield: I've never heard of her before, but she was down right perfect, deviating considerably from what you know about Gay Harden/Paker did to Harper, but still possessing enough grit to make you fully understand her.
Garfield was the sheer perfection, as a aspiring actor it was incredibly amazing to see him being completely able to embody Prior, to the point he left me spellbound, his line delivery of ''f**k you, I'm a prophet'' was to die for.
If this really comes to Broadway, damn, it will be an event, for sure!
