Presenting an original audiobook performance of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, starring the cast of the National Theatre's 2018 Broadway revival.

In this production, adapted especially for the listening experience, Andrew Garfield, Nathan Lane, and the entire cast recreate their acclaimed performances from the 2018 Tony Award-winning National Theatre revival of Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes. With narration by Bobby Cannavale and Edie Falco, and a musical score by Adrian Sutton, this audiobook is a compelling and immersive theatrical listening experience.

A play in two parts, "Millennium Approaches" and "Perestroika", Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes is a complex and insightful look into identity, community, justice, and redemption.

New Yorkers grapple with life and death, love and sex, and heaven and hell as the AIDS crisis intensifies during a time of political reaction—the Reagan Republican counterrevolution of the 1980s.

Published to celebrate the Broadway revival, this is a unique opportunity to hear one of the most honored and timeless plays in American history.

Full cast:

  • Andrew Garfield as Prior Walter
  • Nathan Lane as Roy M. Cohn
  • Susan Brown as Hannah Pitt
  • Denise Gough as Harper Pitt
  • Beth Malone as The Angel
  • James McArdle as Louis Ironson
  • Lee Pace as Joseph Pitt
  • Nathan Stewart-Jarrett as Belize

With narration by:

  • Bobby Cannavale ("Millennium Approaches")
  • Edie Falco ("Perestroika")

Based on the National Theatre production, directed by Marianne Elliott.

Music by Adrian Sutton.

While LGBTQIA+ creators have been around for millennia, it’s only recently that we’ve been hearing more diverse, more queer-authored, and more queer-performed stories about the entire spectrum of LGBTQIA+ experiences and identities. This list—just like the community it represents—is meant to be fluid. But most importantly, it’s meant to celebrate and reflect on the issues faced by LGBTQIA+ people everywhere.

Great play. Enjoyed the story and the acting. Cool to listen to it like an old-timey radio drama.

Great Play

I’ve been a fan of Angels in America for years, having read the scripts and have been an avid fan of the 2003 HBO Miniseries. I had always wondered what the Broadway revival was like and when I discovered this audible listen, I immediately took advantage and couldn’t have been more satisfied and excited by what was offered. Listening to this is like being in the audience watching the show unfold before you. The cast is extraordinary, and even that is being modest on what they achieve with this iconic script from Tony Kushner. I think everyone should listen to this play, as it’s content is so important and timeless, but also, it’s an opportunity yo experience perhaps one of the greatest plays ever written.

One of the best audible options you can listen to!

Glad to see the stage performances transferred to a voice cast recording of this incredible and important play.

i saw the play 2 times, once in NYC and once in Berkeley. Enjoyed it both times. Listening to it being read helped me understand parts of the play that were confusing to me. It is well worth the time! Tony Kushner is amazing.

LOVED LISTENING

So happy that this has been recorded for posterity. Although I can’t compare to casts in the past as I was not there to witness them, this ensemble was what I pictured all of these years and so am glad to have this to listen to in perpetuity.

Glad to relive the experience

Andrew Garfield’s performance as Prior is probably the worst part of this reading. He’s over acting and playing a total character of a gay man. Totally unrealistic and over done. Other than that this play is amazing Tony Kushner is fabulous!

Andrew Garfield...

I loved this performance of my favorite play of all time. The parts are well played with the characters so expressive. Angels in America speaks so clearly and beautifully to me as a gay Ex-Mormon. It is like therapy to me and it makes me cry every time I read it.

Excellent Performance

It must be heard to be believed. I have never been so happy to be wounded.

The Good Work Begins

I’ve been researching the plays(s) ever since seeing them a couple weeks ago at Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. Even though the actors are different — and I have trouble separating Nathan Lane the comedic actor from the Roy Cohn character — I really appreciated and enjoyed this performance by the recent Broadway revival cast.

Obsessed after seeing a repertory company do this play

I read this play as a part of my undergraduate literature curriculum for a Gender Studies course I took, and I thought Tony Kushner did a marvelous job developing the characters in this play, each of whom play a significant role in an extensive and gripping narrative, and I say that with the caveat that I'm not usually into these types of novels. This, however, is marvelous work by Kushner and deserves recognition as such.

Classic
