I have tickets but have never seen the show. I'm trying to figure out who should be my guest, but wanted to check on a few things -- is their nudity in the show? how graphic is the show?
Every production is different, but usually there are at least three or so scenes with nudity. There's also a fair amount of language. Nothing is really obscene though.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

I just checked the NT Live website and, although it still says "Tickets On Sale Soon", there were links to purchase tickets for quite a few theaters here in L.A. The links led to Fandango, however, which said to check back later. However, I was able to buy them directly from the AMC Theatres website.

I'm going in two weeks and the draw for me was definitely Garfield. He had me sobbing during Death of a Salesman and I expect about the same with this. I've never been so excited to have my heart ripped out. LOL
I think it was an Oscar season interview, but Andrew said in an interview that Tony Kushner asked him to do the role. Tony usually knows what he's talking about. No surprise that Andrew is great, to me.
To be clear I think Angels in America is a masterpiece and Kushner's words still are as perfect as possible. Elliott was the woman behind two of the most ''creative'' plays of this decade and she's using everything she can to bring this to life, from the Angels to the shadows and neon lights, it's perfection.
The cast ranges from very good to sheer perfection: Susan Brown may be the least great, but still amazing. Stewart-Jarret took a bit of time to get Belize right, but when he did, it was amazing. Lane was interesting, still an one-liner assassin, but I've never seen him so straight in my entire life. Tovey is limited, but tried everything and has an amazing ass. McArdle is a perfect Louis, even though he had a monologue issue. The two stand-outs are Denise Gough and Andrew Garfield: I've never heard of her before, but she was down right perfect, deviating considerably from what you know about Gay Harden/Paker did to Harper, but still possessing enough grit to make you fully understand her.
Garfield was the sheer perfection, as a aspiring actor it was incredibly amazing to see him being completely able to embody Prior, to the point he left me spellbound, his line delivery of ''f**k you, I'm a prophet'' was to die for.
If this really comes to Broadway, damn, it will be an event, for sure!
I saw Part 2 tonight, and was left a little baffled, but still engaged. I have only seen the movie - which was very realistic. So to see something a little less so, was interesting. All around, I thought it was incredibly engaging and the 4 hours flew by. All the performances were great with Garfield and Harper being the standouts. The set/design was beautiful and surprising. But I will say, having not seen Part 1: at the top of Part 2 there is a giant set piece upstage, with red neon lights/panels. They twist and turn, and then they disappear and we never see them again. Are they used heavily in Part 1?
