Maverick Theater (Fullerton, CA)
Angels in America is regarded as the most important play of the 1990s, and among the most influential of the 20th century. In the mid-1980s a hitherto unknown disease was killing men across the country, striking not only in the New York gay community, but the highest offices of law and government in the nation. With attention not being paid, how did those stricken with the strange disease cope?

This Broadway hit musical, based on the beloved holiday tale, features the classic tunes "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" and "Welcome Christmas." The production stars John Larroquette (Night Court) as the narrator "Old Max" and Stefan Karl (Nick Jr.'s Lazy Town) as The Grinch. Magnificent sets and costumes inspired by Dr. Seuss' original illustrations help transport audiences to the whimsical world of Whoville, breathing new life into this timeless story of the true meaning of the Holiday Season.

Well acted and well staged production. The characters were interesting and complex individuals well portrayed by both male and female actors. Engrossing until the end.
Acting and pacing was very good. Unfortunately, this was only the first half of this brilliant piece and we wanted to see more.
Kristina Leach was especially good as the crazy, wacked out Harper Pitt.
Highly recommended.
A solid cast and nimble direction makes this production of a very challenging play a success. Only wish I could see part two done by this company as well.
This is a long play and the brilliant playwright, Tony Kushner, creates a patchwork of huge themes around the lives of very disparate characters during the time of Reagan, AIDS and the approaching millenium. This is a work that could easily become maudlin and overly cynical in the hands of a less able cast and director.
The production values are simple and effective. The sound and lighting create the appropriate atmosphere. But it is the performances that make this production really shine. I especially liked Roxie Lee in her various roles, from the Rabbi in the opening scene to Hannah Pitt.
Go see it if you have the chance.
