It is tough call between Falsettos and Angels
You think so? I guess it depends on the way you see it. I just find ANGELS IN AMERICA to be one of the finest pieces of American literature, it's so epic and yet so personal, it is about the community but it's also about the individual, it covers SO many themes effectively without getting confused or muddled and without being apologetic. I think it's a play that beyond the Pulitzer, it should have earned Kushner a Nobel Prize (especially if you also take CAROLINE, OR CHANGE into consideration). I find it THAT brilliant.
