Luke will be on Broadway
Luke MacFarlane and Patrick Breen Join Cast of Broadway's Normal Heart
By Andrew Gans
28 Mar 2011
Producer Daryl Roth announced March 28 that Patrick Breen (Next Fall) and Luke MacFarlane ("Brothers and Sisters") have joined the cast of Larry Kramer’s ground-breaking play, The Normal Heart, which will make its Broadway premiere beginning April 19 at the John Golden Theatre.
Breen will play Mickey Marcus, and MacFarlane will play the roles of Craig Donner and Grady. The two actors join the previously announced Ellen Barkin as Dr. Emma Brookner, John Benjamin Hickey as Felix Turner, Joe Mantello as Ned Weeks, Lee Pace as Bruce Niles and Jim Parsons as Tommy Boatwright.
Joel Grey, who is currently co-starring in the Broadway revival of Anything Goes, will direct the 12-week engagement, which will officially open April 27. George C. Wolfe will help supervise the presentation through opening night.
The design team includes David Rockwell (sets), Martin Pakledinaz (costumes), David Weiner (lighting), David Van Tieghem (sound) and Batwin & Robin (projections).
"The story of a city in denial," The Normal Heart, according to press notes, "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 Normal Heart will support a group of dedicated nonprofit organizations, including The Actors Fund and Friends In Deed, among others.
Producers are Daryl Roth and Paul Boskind.
Tickets, priced $26.50-$116.50, are available via Telecharge.com, by calling (212) 239-6200, or in person at the John Golden Theatre box office (252 West 45th Street).

An article from AfterElton
[Source]
The AfterElton.com Gay List
Posted by AfterElton.com Staff on March 14, 2011
One of our favorite mantras around the AfterElton offices is “because visibility matters.” Indeed, the idea that gay and bisexual men need to be visible, both to ourselves and to the wider culture, is one of the principle reasons AfterElton.com even exists. After all, it is only by being visible to family, friends and the world that we’ve been able to overcome the stereotypes and bigotry used to justify discrimination against the GLBT community.
That quest for visibility explains why we have done so many polls including the AfterElton Hot 100, the Fifty Greatest Gay Movies, the Top 50 Gay TV Characters, and the 50 Best Gay Books. After all, it’s not as if Entertainment Weekly is going to ask gay and bisexual men which guys we think are the hottest, which movies mean the most to us or, in the case of our latest poll, which celebrities we most admire.
But guess what? When we do so, much of the rest of the world tends to notice. The results of our Hot 100 poll are always reported in dozens of countries, and winners of other AE polls are often mentioned in all sorts of articles.
But why a poll about out celebrities? For better or worse, celebrities are some of the most influential people on the planet, and their fame allows them to either make the world a better place (Oprah Winfrey, anyone?) or act like total jackasses in front of the entire planet. (Way to go, Charlie Sheen!)
By highlighting which out gay and bisexual men our readers most admire, we celebrate not just those men, but how far the entire gay community has come. After all, it wasn’t so long ago that finding 50 out gay and bisexual men for a list like this would have been pretty hard to do.
It certainly isn’t any more. Thousands of AfterElton readers voted in our poll, nominating over 300 different gay/bi men they admired. That’s a lot of visible gay and bisexual men.
And note: we're not even including all the out women there are. (We left that poll to our sisters over at AfterEllen.com, and if you're interested you can find their results here.)
The men who made the top fifty in our poll were diverse in many ways, including not just the obvious actors and musicians who rule pop culture, but also includes two politicians, three athletes, a soldier, two writers, a sex advice columnist and a gay rights activist.
Actually, almost everyone on the list could be called a gay rights activist, and not just because they have all made the decision to be out. Rather, almost every man in the top fifty is someone who has done something to further the cause for gay equality, whether it be fighting Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell, speaking up for marriage equality, or speaking out on the issue of gay teens who are bullied.
Some, like Sir Ian McKellen, have been doing it for decades, while others are brand new to the fight, but no less important or visible for that.
Alas, the results weren’t terribly racial diverse, which highlights an ongoing problem: limited GLBT visibility in minority communities. But our list did have some men of color including two Hispanic men, three Asians and two African American celebrities.
Enough pontificating about why this list matters. We’re pretty sure you already get it. It’s on to the results, starting at number 50 and working our way to number 1!
