I feel like it would have been better if they had swapped roles. If you look at Quinto’s sardonic delivery in The Boys In The Band, you can see he’d be perfect for Prior!
Honestly, I love Christian Borle; I think he’s an amazing actor and a brilliant singer, but his performance as Prior felt “flat” to me. (I’ve only seen clips, I haven’t seen his entire performance) but to me it seems that this prior doesn’t really have emotion. It just sucks because I feel so bad not liking his Angels in America. I dunno...
He's touched on this a lot actually, when he got the role he made himself sick by barely eating. He said "If I'm meant to look sick the I will get sick" This caused him to become quite numb (Brain starving, happens a lot with restrictive eating disorders! Lots of brain fog and emotional numbness) and so his performance reflected his state back then. He described it as 'shallow' and often says how he was stupid and regrets what he did with the role. But he learned from it.
Borle looks very affected. Even though he often plays gay men (Falsettos also), he doesn't ring true. I don't believe him. Watch Kirk in the HBO movie or, if you were lucky, to have seen Spinella in the original for truth.
Steph Piano angels in america!! one of the great american plays! i highly recommend giving it a read, and watching the hbo miniseries based on the play if you can get your hands on it
Christian plays Prior less flamboyant and less comedically. He adds a really nice edge and grit to the role. Very cool.
I wish I could've seen this version. Zachary Quinto was consistently praised for his role as Louis.
i never knew i needed to see christian borle as prior but DAMN do i have a mighty need to see him scream "fuck you i'm a prophet" now

@@avatothecado6440 THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH WOW made my day
how did I not know that christian borle and zachary quinto did this together - MY TWO GODS
well, zachary yes...
Two extremely talented actors.... without knowing anything about the play, that scene caught me emotionally. Wonderful performance from both.
Where the FUCK can i find a recording of this i'm DYING HERE
WHY did I not know about this version?! I love both of them
At 1:16 Christian Borle perfectly acts out Prior's repressed tears.
I have the one with Andrew Garfield but I'd kill for this one bootleg

I'm sorry, but why isn't this scene better than what I just saw? Both those actors can do so much better than what they just did in this scene!!!

ThePythonfan yes he did legaly blonde two wow
Love Borle to death but Prior was not his best performance. Kinda dull I dunno
What show is this?

Love Borle, and while he makes sense for this role on paper, it just doesn’t come together
Not as good as the 2018 production on broadway!!!!
