I saw the original Broadway cast, both shows, on one snowy winter day/night in NYC, with a friend who had AIDS and died a few years later. I still have a photo of us having dinner between shows. If it's ever produced anywhere near you, see both plays in one day; a cathartic mesmerizing marathon.
Despite Philips verbose rambling, this was a great talk. I love Mike Nichols adaptation of Angels and would've loved to see the original play. Sadly I couldn't get tickets to see it in London even after putting my name down a year before it opened!
those Angels in America ... they did not live through the 80s..and we shall never forget them. I guess you really had to have been there to have known. I love Nathan Lane and his shocked look. All classic actors would want to be part of this company.. no doubt.
I feel like the interviewer needs to process this with a therapist, not the cast of the play... his questions were strange. I do not say "see a therapist" as an insult, as I am a therapist.
This moderator should not moderate Broadway Times Talks. He knows little about theater, as is clear from his questions on this and the Three Tall Women discussion. Sadly he was quite a distraction. I could not bear to watch the whole thing.

Nathan Lane is so incredible. So awesome. Is so underrated in Hollywood, shame.

Oh god this interview is so painful to watch. My heart goes out to Garfield, Elliott, and Lane.
Starts at the 3:20 mark!
Not to beat a dead horse, but the moderator, my GOD.

The interviewer/moderator may be sincere, but lacks the objective severity necessary to draw out anything really meaningful from the three guests.
The moderator was long winded, annoying and HORRIBLE!!
I wish I can give this comment 1032434 thumbs up..
John L agreed.
agree very unprepared.
Seriously was going to write the same thing. It was like one long stream of consciousness question
He could talk a little bit less and be better prepared.
I want to say something like "at least he tried to be a good moderator" but honestly, there is nothing good about this moderator.
Who also checked their connections up to 100 times during the first three minutes?
Me: I did.
me @ the moderator the whole interview: 48:42
This Moderator is really bad at his job but the responses from the actors are interesting. Jesus spit it out moderator!
Yes, I agree that the interviewer is not the best. Check out the TimesTalks interview he just did with Glenda Jackson and Laurie Metcalf. Yikes!
Does anyone know what month and year this was? Just trying to cite it properly.
the moderator is so bad
OMG the moderator is insufferable!
I thought that was John Oliver in the thumbnail
I can only hope this was the last talk Philip moderates ... ruined this
Moderator was just awful!!!
