The Normal Heart

Saw it. Liked it. Loved Ellen Barkin, Patrick Breen and Jim Parsons.

Big angry play…and rightfully so.

I saw AS IS years ago and I was confused and thought I had seen THE NORMAL HEART already. Awful, right? Like someone confusing Judy Collins for Joni Mitchell…

My very good friend, DY, started this whole thing in Los Angeles as a reading to raise money. Now look at it.

Yes. Saw it tonight. Ditto on Ellen Barkin and Jim Parsons. Hope she gets the Tony.

I really liked Joe Mantello; that role can be a little one-notey -- but he played it with sublime virtuosity.
