Dan Musgrove Actor Dan Musgrove will switch Mr Asia for a guilt-ridden gay Jewish clerk when he takes up a place in the cast for Silo’s upcoming epic Angels in America. Musgrove will be no stranger to gay theatre-goers, having played Tim Conigrave in Silo’s heart-rending Holding the Man, directed by Shane Bosher, who will take his final Silo flight with Angels in America. The actor has since starred as Mr Asia in Underbelly: Land of the Long Green Cloud and recently acted in Silo’s end of year play Midsummer. In Angels in America he will play Louis: the young, progressive yet guilt ridden Jewish intellectual legal clerk in a relationship with openly gay New Yorker Prior Walter. Other actors who have signed on are Mia Blake, Alison Bruce and Jarod Rawiri. Silo is offering a Double Feature deal where audiences can now book both parts - “Millennium Approaches” and “Perestroika” together at a special discounted rate. Angels in America has been enjoying revivals worldwide as of late. Celebrated gay actor Zachary Quinto led a major New York revival in 2011 and Belvoir St Theatre’s production in Sydney was so successful this year, selling out before it opened, that it transferred to the 1,183 seat Theatre Royal. Auckland has only ever experienced the first half of Kushner’s wild fantasia. This epic two-parter can be seen independently or together in sequence on Saturdays and Sundays. Angels in America plays Rangatira @ Q Theatre from March 2014
