I'd like to add to that, and to highly recommended this production if you have the opportunity to see it. Gut-renchingly brilliant performances all around of an incredibly moving, and welll-written play.

A few reviews linked below...

I so wish I had seen this at the National Theatre in London all those years ago with Martin Sheen. I loved the play "The Destiny of me" but have still not seen his earlier work on stage.

Rob,
It is a wonderful show and Esparza really impressed me.
He deserves a nomination.
The show moved me and I am glad others are feeling the same way about it.

We've linked *many* Normal Heart reviews on Raul's site, along with some press photos. The show is being well received and I'm extremely happy for them....

Cant be a Tony Nom, NORMAL HEART is Off-Broadway

Will see it this weekend, can't wait

Raul should get a Tony Nom for TABOO, & it will be very cool to see him in this play, such a different role

The guy is amazing...again I say whoever saw COMEDIANS knows what I am talking about

Ruffian,
I don't know if it was looked at in 1985 but if not I would love it to get a nomination at the Drama Desks Awards.
It was my favorite play so far this year.

I dont believe the 1985 NH won any Drama Desk Awards, but I saw it...it was something else, for sure. I really am very excited about seeing the revival. Most the responses are very enthused. I have a high bar going in, cant wait cant wait cant wait Updated On: 4/23/04 at 10:40 AM
