Angel’s of America

Popular Korean actor Yoo Seung Ho will be playing Prior Walter, an AIDS patient, alongside Lee Tae Vin (Love For Love’s Sake), his same-sex lover, Louise Ironson in the theater adaptation of Tony Kirshner’s “Angel’s in America”. The play announced its opening on August 6 and revealed its spectacular casting lineup.

This work deals with a variety of social issues such as religion, race, sexual orientation, and politics, set in the United States in the 1980s. In particular, it aroused public sympathy through stories about discrimination and prejudice of social minorities, and 30 years after its publication, Even today, it is still evaluated as a work of modernity.

‘Angels in America’ deals in depth with the discrimination and confusion experienced by social minorities and asks fundamental questions about life, crossing reality and fantasy through the stories of five minorities with diverse identities. Three central stories unfold: Prior, an AIDS patient, and his same-sex lover, Louise; Joseph, a Mormon who struggles with his sexual identity; and his wife, Harper, a drug addict; and Roy Cohn, a far-right conservative and power-obsessed lawyer.

In 2024, ‘Angels in America’ will feature talented actors active in various fields such as plays, musicals, movies, and dramas, and many actors who have shown their charm and acting skills in various genres have been cast, raising audience expectations.

Yoo Seung-ho, who is trying his hand at the theater stage for the first time, has appeared in a variety of genres since his drama debut in 2000, including “Moonshine”, “Memorist” and “I’m Not a Robot”.
