About this listen

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.

Very good audio adaptation

Strong cast & production, it’s always been a good play… with a lot of greatness in it, but with some parts that maybe work less well… particularly in the play’s latter stages. But if you are up for a gay fantasia on American themes, then it’s a journey well worth taking!

authentic recording

this recording was another way to enjoy a fabulous screenplay! the actors seemed to be the same as the TV show which made the audible version as good as the TV show. Amazing, gripping, powerful story that should be heard by everyone

Strong voice performances

I remember this was viewing in the West End of London when I visited five years ago. Nathan Lane and Andrew Garfield show incredible vocal talent in this piece. The story is not what you would call for the faint of heart, but it is worth listening to for the performances alone.
