Angels in America Extends a Second Time, Through February 20

The Signature Theatre Company's off-Broadway revival of Tony Kushner's Angels in America: A Gay Fantasia on National Themes has extended for a second time and will now play through February 20, 2011, at the Peter Norton Space. The show's two parts, Millennium Approaches and Perestroika, were originally scheduled to play in repertory through January 30. Performances begin September 14 ahead of an October 28 opening, with Michael Grief directing.

Angels in America will feature previously announced stars Robin Bartlett as Hannah Pitt, Christian Borle as Prior Walter, Bill Heck as Joe Pitt, Zoe Kazan as Harper Pitt, Billy Porter as Belize, Zachary Quinto as Louis Ironson, Robin Weigert as The Angel and Frank Wood as Roy Cohn.

Signature’s revival of Angels in America is part of the theater’s 20th anniversary series celebrating the works of Tony- and Pulitzer Prize-winner Kushner. Also on tap are the New York premiere of The Intelligent Homosexual’s Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures (a co-production with the Public Theater, also directed by Michael Greif) and Kushner’s adaptation of Pierre Corneille’s The Illusion (directed by Michael Mayer).
