I figured this can help you guys out, if you plan on posting about what you saw
The play is about a group of friends in New York surviving and trying to pay the Rent. It is rampant with music numbers and there are several homosexual couples (one of which Angel is a part of, with Collins). Angel himself is a Drag Queen first seen finding Collins beaten on the street in which he sings the number "You okay honey?"
From there he doesn't appear again until Collins introduces him to Mark and Roger and he sings his song "Today 4 U, Tomorrow 4 me" Expect a lot of energy there.

After leaving Life Support, the friends save a homeless bag lady from being beaten by a police officer, only to be reprimanded by her for being pretentious artists (On The Street). As they walk away contemplating her response, Collins starts to fantasize about living in an idealized Santa Fe, where the climate and the people are much warmer (Santa Fe). Mark leaves, promising that he will try to convince Roger to go to Maureen's show. Collins and Angel then sing about their newfound love and officially become a couple (I'll Cover You).

In ACT II Angel dies of AIDS.
"On Valentine's Day, Maureen and Joanne have a fight while rehearsing for a new protest, and break up again (Take Me or Leave Me). In the spring as everything deteriorates, the cast poses the question, "How do you measure a last year on earth?" All the while, Angel's health seriously deteriorates and Collins tries to nurse him/her back to health.
Soon afterward, Angel dies. Collins is heartbroken, and at Angel's funeral he emotionally declares his undying love for him. The others also take part in the funeral, mourning the loss of such a close friend (I'll Cover You (Reprise)). Mark (the main character throughout the play) expresses his fear of being the only one left surviving when the rest of his friends die of AIDS, and finally accepts Alexi's job offer (Halloween). Roger reveals that he is leaving New York for Santa Fe, which sparks an argument about commitment between both couples, with Mark and Benny desperately trying to restore calm. Collins arrives and puts everyone to shame, stating "Angel helped us believe in love/I can't believe you disagree".

Go to Wikipedia for a retelling of the ending and to catch up a little on the rest. I just overhauled for Angel because that's who Suzuki is playing.
