‘ANGELS’ ALOFT

Boy, was I wrong. The second half of “Angels in America”
wriggled out of the straightjacket Mike Nichols had made for it in the first half. Last night, miracle
of miracles, even the literalism of a TV movie couldn’t fuck it up. Tony Kushner’s
play finally came through the
tube with a power that took off. Part two of this gay fantasia will stick in memory.
Also loved the theme music, which sounded like the “Six Feet Under” riff. No
wonder. Thomas Newman wrote them both.
