This week, Sardi's unveiled caricatures of THE NORMAL HEART Tony Award Nominees Ellen Barkin, John Benjamin Hickey & Joe Mantello with George C. Wolfe and BroadwayWorld.com was there!

The Normal Heart made its World Premiere at The Public Theater in 1985 and premiered on Broadway on April 19, 2011 before opening to rave reviews on April 27, 2011. The limited engagement, which stars Ellen BarkinPatrick BreenMark HarelikJohn Benjamin HickeyLuke MacFarlaneJoe MantelloLee PaceJim ParsonsRichard Topol and Wayne Alan Wilcox, runs through July 10, 2011. 

Joel Grey and George C. Wolfe direct the production, which has been nominated for five Tony Awards®. The Normal Heart is already the winner of the Drama Desk, Drama League and Outer Critics Circle Awards for Best Revival of a Play, the Drama Desk Award for Best Ensemble and a Special Citation from the New York Drama Critics Circle.

The design team includes David Rockwell (sets), Martin Pakledinaz (costumes), David Weiner(lighting), David Van Tieghem (sound and original music), and Batwin & Robin (projections). The story of a city in denial, The Normal Heart unfolds like a real-life political thriller -- as a tight-knit group of friends refuses to let doctors, politicians and the press bury the truth of an unspoken epidemic behind a wall of silence. First produced by Joseph Papp at New York's Public Theater, the play was a critical sensation and a seminal moment in theater history. So ahead of its time was this play that many of the core issues it addresses - including gay marriage, the healthcare system and, of course, AIDS - are just as relevant today as they were when it first premiered.

The premiere presentation of Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart on Broadway is produced by Daryl RothPaul Boskind and Martian Entertainment in association with Gregory Rae and Jayne Baron Sherman/Alexander Fraser.
