Tony Kushner Directing THE NORMAL HEART Benefit Reading at The Public

Just saw this on Playbill — Tony Kushner is directing a benefit reading of Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart at The Public. I mean... the Angels in America playwright taking on the other towering AIDS-era masterwork? This feels like an event.

Any chance it won't be a million dollars a ticket?

from the release posted on Talking Broadway:

"Benefit tickets for THE NORMAL HEART reading start at $400. Proceeds from this benefit will support The Public and God's Love We Deliver, founded to support people with HIV/AIDS and now providing medically tailored meals, nutrition care, and education to individuals living with serious illness.

Benefit tickets are available online at publictheater.org or via email at events@publictheater.org. A limited number of $40 tickets will be available via lottery.

Casting and more information will be available closer to the benefit date."

This also directly competes against MCC’s MISCAST gala the same night.
