pre Broadway-
Sunday View; Two 'Angels,' Two Journeys, In London and New York
Vincent Canby, Jan 30th, 1994
"Declan Donnellan's stunning production, designed by Nick Ormerod, might fit in the pocket of George C. Wolfe's more visually complicated staging of "Angels in America," now at the Walter Kerr Theater on Broadway. The local version is not really that much smaller than the New York production, and it certainly isn't shorter -- both run approximately seven hours. In most ways, though, it has a spare, intimate manner that, coupled with the tightly choreographed staging, makes it seem to fly like the wind."
The author gives us an approximate running time in relation to the New York show. We know from the article that this showed in the smallest of three spaces at the Royal National Theatre. He also gives us a few upcoming performances to look into in both New York and London.

"Kushner is clearly political in the large sense of the word-- concerned with society and its endemic chaos--but he is also a fantasist (the subtitle of Angels is A Gay Fantasia on National Themes), a believer in theater as magic (he adapted Corneille's The Illusion)."
We know from this article that the show was not just revered in the US for it's opening. The author gives us a breakdown of the plot. The author uses his last paragraph to propose questions.
Non-New York Production-
Theatre Review (Boston): Angels in America
Greg Hard, Boston, Massachussets 2008

"Tony Kushner's Angels in America is a seven-hour play in two parts, and this is the first staging of the Pulitzer Prize-winning work in over a decade, aside from the 2003 HBO miniseries."
Mr. Hard has presented us with a peice giving an overview of plot, acting, and scenery. Though brief, his review does give us the knowledge that this is the first time this show has been performed on stage in almost a decade. His review also informs us on directions to the performance as well as contact information.
College Production-
Southern Florida- Angels in America: The Millenium Approaches
John Lariviere, 1997-2009
http://www.talkinbroadway.com/regional/sfla/sfla136.html
"David Sirois plays Roy M. Cohn with eerie accuracy. Tyrone Davis is believably savvy as Belize. Johnny Mineo is good as the conflicted Louis. Katie Middleton is heartfelt as the emotionally fragile Harper, and James Allerdyce turns in a solid performance as her closeted husband Joseph."
Mr. Lariviere tries to grab our attention with letting us know that the school is celebrating it's 20th anniversary. He also divides his article in half, the first half covers a synopsis of the play and the second half covers the actual personalized performance and information regarding it. The cast list shows us that this show did have some double casting.

"This makes a grand total of 11 Emmys for the show -- more than any other miniseries, including Roots, which received nine Emmys in 1977."
The focus of this article is the amount of awards the miniseries won at the Emmys. We know from this article that Angels in America won more awards than any miniseries before it. We get other performances that the cast is known for mentioned in the article.
