Summary
Scene 1

After the funeral of a drag queen friend, Prior bitterly denounces death and the marginalizing of gay men. He is dressed strangely, in a black, prophet-like coat and hood. When Belize questions his moodiness, Prior tells him that the Angel was not a dream: he has been given a prophecy in the form of a book.
Scene 2

Scene Two begins in a flashback, to the angelic visitation three weeks earlier. In piercing, monumental tones, the Angel announces herself as the Angel of America and proclaims that Prior is a prophet. She directs Prior to remove the Sacred Prophetic Implements from their hiding place, which was supposed to have been revealed in a dream. Prior, terrified, says he has no idea what she means. She coughs, puzzled, and consults with an unseen figure, then tells Prior he will find them under the kitchen tiles. He resists, until in a fierce outburst she commands him to submit to the will of heaven. They go into the kitchen and return with a leather suitcase containing a pair of spectacles with rocks for lenses. Prior puts them on briefly, then rips them off, appalled at the vision. Then he removes a bright steel book from the suitcase. Before he reads it, he asks why her presence always turns him on sexually. She replies that "Not Physics but Ecstatics" makes the engine of creation run. They are both increasingly aroused. They have an intense sexual coupling and a ferocious climax.

Prior, in an aside, explains that angelic sexual couplings fuel creation, and that the Angels are incredibly powerful but have no ability to create. But by creating humans, God set in motion the potential for randomness and change. The Angels were disturbed by humanity's migratory instinct, which manifested as tremors in Heaven, a city like San Francisco. Finally, on April eighteen, 1906, the day of the San Francisco earthquake, God abandoned Heaven, never to return. The Angels, believing that human beings' energy drove God away, insist that humankind must stop moving and mingling. Prior, disturbed, tries to reject the prophecy, but the Angel tells him he has no way to hide. She takes the book and ascends into Heaven.

When Belize has heard the full story, he refuses to believe it is real, and accuses Prior of imagining the Angel as a metaphor for wanting his disease to stop and Louis to come back. Prior admits that he might well be going crazy, but that he might also really be a prophet.

Set in New York City in 1985, Act One of Millennium Approaches introduces us to the central characters . As the play opens, Louis Ironson, a neurotic , gay Jew learns his lover, WASP Prior Walter, has AIDS . As the play and Prior's illness progress, Louis becomes unable to cope and moves out. Meanwhile, closeted homosexual Mormon and Republican law clerk Joe Pitt is offered a major promotion by his mentor , the McCarthyist lawyer Roy Cohn . Joe doesn't immediately take the job because he feels he has to check with his Valium -addicted, agoraphobic wife, Harper, who is unwilling to move. Roy is himself deeply closeted , and soon discovers that he has AIDS .

As the seven-hour play progresses, Prior is visited by ghosts and an angel who proclaim him to be a prophet ; Joe finds himself struggling to reconcile his religion with his sexuality ; Louis struggles with his guilt about leaving Prior and begins a relationship with Joe; Harper's mental health deteriorates as she realizes that Joe is gay; Joe's mother, Hannah, moves to New York to attempt to look after Harper and meets Prior after a failed attempt by Prior to confront Hannah's son; Harper begins to separate from Joe whom she has depended upon and finds strength she was unaware of; and Roy finds himself in the hospital, reduced to the companionship of the ghost of Ethel Rosenberg and his nurse, Belize, a former drag queen and Prior's best friend, who meanwhile has to deal with Louis's constant demands for updates on Prior's health. The subplot involving Cohn is the most political aspect of the play. Portrayed as a self-loathing, power-hungry hypocrite, he prides himself on his political connections and influence, which he has amassed through decades of corruption. In the play, he recollects with pride his role in having Ethel Rosenberg executed for espionage . As he lies alone in the hospital, dying of AIDS, the ghost of Rosenberg sings him a Yiddish lullaby and then brings him the news that the New York State Bar Association has just disbarred him, destroying his final hope of dying as a lawyer. The play ends on a note of optimism. After his friends procure for him a stash of AZT , in 1990 Prior is still alive and is managing to live with AIDS. With his friends, he looks at the statue of an angel in Bethesda Fountain and talks of the legend of the original fountain, and how it will flow again some day. The play is deliberately performed so that the moments requiring special effects often show their theatricality. Most of the actors play multiple characters ( eg, the actor playing Prior's nurse also appears as the Angel). There are heavy Biblical references and references to American society , as well as some fantastical scenes including voyages to Antarctica and Heaven , as well as key events happening in San Francisco and at Bethesda Fountain in Central Park .

1959年的百老汇云集着众多享誉世界的大牌明星，而曾经风光一时的制作人麦克斯·比亚里斯托克(纳森·连恩饰)却日渐衰落、回天无力。一天，一位落魄的会计师里欧·布鲁姆(马修·柏德利饰)走进麦克斯的办公室，神经兮兮的说他有个针对潦倒制片人的绝佳敛财计划，即一味提高制作预算，排演出一部拙劣至极的失败剧目，而后将多余的大笔经费揣进腰包，溜之大吉。茅塞顿开的麦克斯决定冒险一试，并说服了里欧作自己的助手。
麦克斯和里欧四处寻找最糟糕的剧本，一部名为《希特勒的春天——阿道夫和艾娃的情爱乐趣》的音乐剧让两人如获至宝。他们到格林威治村拜访了剧作者弗朗茨，这个痴迷纳粹的编剧同意加盟，但有个条件，就是要麦克斯和里欧宣誓效忠希特勒。
剧本确定之后，麦克斯和里欧又开始寻找最蹩脚的导演，他们发现了罗杰和他的助手卡门，但这个导演明显不愿接手这种敏感题材，两人说尽花言巧语，称这部戏会带给罗杰梦寐以求的名誉和声望，成名心切的罗杰终于答应出马。
金发碧眼的尤拉前来面试，先是被安排在合唱团，后来才成了麦克斯和里欧的秘书。在频繁的接触中，害羞的里欧同迷人的尤拉日久生情，同时，麦克斯正为筹措200万美元的制作经费辗转于赞助人中间，而这些赞助人竟是几百位住在曼哈顿周围的小老太婆，个个饥渴无比。
敲定扮演希特勒的人选颇费了番周折，最后只好由弗朗茨自己扮演。很快，首演之夜如期而至，正当麦克斯和里欧等人为首演前不能说好运争辩不休时，弗朗茨竟摔断了腿，幸好有过丰富舞台经验的罗杰早有准备，换上了替补演员。
起初，台下的观众对《希特勒的春天》有些心存疑虑，当落魄不堪的希特勒出现在台上时，一切的顾虑都烟消云散，观众开始乐此不疲，这部构想中的拙劣之作大受欢迎。出乎意料的结局让原有的计划陷入进退两难的境地，里欧想解雇所有职员，而麦克斯则另有打算，争论之时，兴奋不已的罗杰和卡门赶来庆祝，而气急败坏的弗朗茨也紧随其来，挥舞着枪，要为被诋毁的希特勒复仇。混乱中，警察赶到现场，不仅抓走了弗朗茨，还看到了麦克斯桌上的两个账本，因涉嫌逃税而逮捕了麦克斯。
里欧逃脱了警察的追捕，尤拉劝说里欧携款逃往里约。不久，麦克斯在监狱里收到一张从巴西寄来的明信片，麦克斯绝望了。孰知审判当天，里欧和尤拉竟出现在法庭，里欧愿同麦克斯一起伏法。牢房中的麦克斯、里欧和弗朗茨又聚到一起，一出名为《爱的囚徒》的音乐剧也日渐成形……
