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."

For Barbra, I'd pay! Plus with the walking help she needed at the Oscars, why not do a part in a wheelchair? Other than that she never would, ahha.

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

This would prompt Kramer to rise from his grave and attack the benefit reading with an army of zombie minions.
