Last year on Broadway, The Normal Heart won three Tony Awards for its honest, moving revival of playwright Larry Kramer's 1985 onstage wake-up call that alerted America to the urgency of the AIDS epidemic. Even with more than 25 years of history padded onto its premiere, the production still "blasts you like an open, overstoked furnace," the New York Times declares, aided by performances from The Good Wife's Patrick Breen, Brothers and Sisters' Luke MacFarlane, and thirtysomething's Patricia Wettig. The human consequences of the crisis unfold onstage as a doctor seeks answers for the growing number of sick gay men on her patients' list; a writer looks to warn the community about the epidemic; and a mayor's aide aims to deflect the political consequences of the disease. George C. Wolfe, a two-time Tony Award winner for Angels in America and Bring in da Noise, directs the drama, brewing up a stirring performance that shouts of anger, love, and hope.
