| Just back from Angels marathon- saw Part 1 last night- saw Part 2 tonight. Of late, I really do enjoy those 85 minute/no intermission shows. So was concerned about getting comfortable each night for 4 hours. Really loved Part 1. I've seen it a few times- and thought cast and production was top notch and hopefully award winning on many levels. Found tonight's Part 2 a bit of a drag- slow moving and somewhat of a different play. Am I alone in those thoughts? Kushner does need to be commended for writing such a great piece of art- and it stands the test of time. But I'm not sure seeing Part 2 was as necessary as I originally thought (even though I did see both parts prior) |

| If schedule is a problem and you could only see one part- which one? | |

| If you've never seen Angels previously, see Part 1. | |

| I have not seen this production yet, but I did see the original Broadway production as well as the Signature revival (and the HBO film). I've always felt that the second play does not fulfill the promise made by the first. It's as if Kushner got the characters to a certain point by the end of the first play and then didn't know quite what to do with them in the second one. I understand that he is still rewriting Perestroika and that those rewrites have been incorporated into this production. So perhaps I would feel differently if I attended this production... | |
