"Daring and dazzling! The most
ambitious American play of our time: an epic that ranges from
earth to heaven; focuses on politics, sex and religion;
transports us to Washington, the Kremlin, the South Bronx, Salt
Lake City and Antarctica; deals with Jews, Mormons, WASPs,
blacks; switches between realism and fantasy, from the tragedy of
AIDS to the camp comedy of drag queens to the death or at least
the absconding of God."
Jack Kroll, Newsweek
"A vast miraculous
play...provocative, witty and deeply upsetting...a searching and
radical rethinking of American political drama..."
Frank Rich, New York Times
"Something rare, dangerous and
harrowing...a roman candle hurled into a drawing room..."
Nicholas de Jongh, London Evening
Standard
"An epic theatrical fever dream...a
three-hour cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more."
Variety
"A victory for theater, for the
transforming power of the imagination to turn devastation into
beauty."
John Lahr, New Yorker
"Establishes Kushner as a poet and
moral visionary in love with the theater yet awake in the
world."

"PERESTROIKA is not only a stunning
resolution of the rending human drama of MILLENIUM APPROACHES,
but also a true millennial work of art, uplifting, hugely comic
and pantheistically religious in a very American style."
Frank Rich, New York Times
"Playful and profound, extravagantly
theatrical and deeply spiritual, witty and compassionate, furious
and incredibly smart.... It's impossible to imagine anyone
captivated by the beginning not wanting—needing—to go back for
the end."
Linda Winer, Newsday
"ANGELS IN AMERICA is a monumental
achievement, the work of a defiantly theatrical imagination that
has no parallel on television or in the movies. It ennobles
Broadway as no other work in recent memory has."
Jeremy Gerard, Variety
"Not since Tennessee Williams has a
playwright announced his poetic vision with such authority on the
Broadway stage...PERESTROIKA is a masterpiece."
John Lahr, New Yorker
