2011 Tony Award-Winning Play The Normal Heart, Direct From Broadway, at Arena Stage
- Full Price:
- $83.00 - $98.00
- Our Price:
- $47.45 - $55.70
Arena Stage presents the Tony Award-winning Broadway revival of The Normal Heart, directed by Tony winner George C. Wolfe (Angels in America) and featuring two stars of the show's Broadway run. A powerful and important work about sexual politics during the AIDS crisis, The Normal Heart follows a group of friends who struggle to contain the mysterious disease ravaging New York's gay community. Dismissed by politicians, frustrated by doctors and fighting with each other, they venture not just to save themselves, but to end the shameful silence and make lasting changes for the future. Playwright Larry Kramer (Academy Award-nominee, Women in Love) himself witnessed the effect of the AIDS virus on the gay community in the '80s, and, in response, co-founded the Gay Men's Health Crisis, which to this day is the largest private organization in the world to assist people living with AIDS. Broadway cast members Patrick Breen (The Good Wife, Nurse Jackie) and Luke MacFarlane (Brothers & Sisters, Over There, Kinsey) reprise their roles alongside a cast that includes three-time Emmy Award-winner Patricia Wettig (Brothers & Sisters, thirtysomething) Christopher J. Hanke (Big Love, Brothers & Sisters, How to Succeed in Business...) and more stage and screen veterans. Learn More

Wonderful production. The two leads are outstanding. And the little boy who plays Winthrop is also excellent. A great show. Would like to see this again.Written on May 21 2012

Arena Stage always puts on a great show, and this was no exception. A fun time, well acted, well sung, and well danced. My only complaint was that we were in the front row, which was actually really FANTASTIC in some ways -- feeling like you were almost IN the show. However, in some of the big dance numbers the characters on the sidelines were staged standing, and they blocked our view of the center stage area, which was very annoying. Any other seats would have had a beautiful view of the action, however, and the arena creates a wonderful feeling of being a part of it all no matter where you sit. Go and be reminded of why this is such a great show.Written on May 21 2012

This production brings back the spirit of the original. Using minimal props and set design, Arena focuses on the singing, dancing and sheer talent of the show's stars. Fun to see the kids used more as well. A hit for the whole family, and another strong production from Arena.Written on May 17 2012

Although we purchased this ticket months ago, Arena gave us a back-row seat. And while I usually have no trouble hearing dialogue in theaters, I did have a lot of trouble following the dialogue here (as well as some of the song lyrics.) I think the pace was quite fast, and the enunciation not as clear as it could have been. Unlike my husband, who knows this play by heart, it was my first time seeing The Music Man. The play is somewhat dated, and the ending a bit unrealistic. All that being said, Arena had incredibly high productions standards, as always: the dancing was phenomenal, the singing exceptional. The child actors were also out of this world. The adult actors did the best they could with a 1950s play. In all fairness, 95 percent of the audience gave them a standing ovation, but I was one of the few who remained seated, for the reasons stated above.Written on May 23 2012

About the Ticket Supplier: Arena Stage
Arena Stage today stands as a flagship American theater. Arena Stage was one of the first not-for-profit theaters in the United States, as well as a pioneer of the regional theater movement. It was the first regional theater to transfer a production to Broadway, the first invited by the U.S. State Department to tour behind the Iron Curtain, and the first to receive a Tony Award. Taking a leadership role in extending theater's horizons, Arena Stage has implemented groundbreaking policies and programs, promoting diversity in all aspects of theater, from theatergoing to production.
The Arena Stage legacy of world-class productions includes vast epics, charged dramas, rousing musicals, and probing profiles. From the monumental to the developmental, Arena Stage has helped build the canon of American theater. While they produce American classics, Arena Stage premieres new American plays and supported works in progress. They've nurtured artistic growth and engaged the community, broadening and intensifying the theatrical experience for one and all. And yet, in spite of it all, in their second half-century they see themselves as more fresh, restless and dynamic than ever.
