Death Of A Salesman at Hudson Theatre

Why see Death Of A Salesman?

a broadway Transfer

After a sell-out run and a five-star critical reception at London's Young Vic, the Marianne Elliot and Miranda Cromwell helmed production of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman will make a hotly anticipated Broadway transfer! Original stars of the Young Vic production, Wendell Pierce and Olivier Award winner Sharon D. Clarke, will reprise their triumphant roles when The Death of the Salesman lands on Broadway.

A play that explores the binding grip of the 'American Dream', Death Of a Salesman won the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony for Best Play in 1949 and solidified Arthur Miller as one of the greatest playwrights of the 20th century. 

Star of Suits, The Wire, and Selma, Wendell Pierce makes his West End debut as Willy Loman with Oliver award-winner Sharon D. Clarke starring as Linda Loman. With the award-winning prowess of Marianne Elliott (Company, The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time, Angels In America) and the talented Miranda Cromwell at the helm of this latest rendition, Death Of A Salesmen is transported to new and breath-taking heights. 

WHAT IS DEATH OF A SALESMAN ABOUT?

On his return from a business trip, Willy Loman becomes enraged to see his two sons Biff and Happy staying at the family home. In a series of flashbacks, we learn more about the Loman's and their intricate and sometimes secretive family life. From affairs to jealousy we chart the highs and lows of one family on the edge of destruction and their quest for fulfillment.

Henry Goldman

Powerful, moving

Brantley's jaded, unperturbed reaction notwithstanding, this is an unforgettable piece of theater, extraordinarily moving, superbly well-cast, acted by all with wizardry, and with perfect-pitch direction. Many in my March 16 audience wept; everyone rose at the end in a sustained standing ovation. A production in which the entire team appears to recognize the responsibility they have to bring to life, and live up to the importance and majesty of, Arthur Miller's play. ... Read more

A reprisal role for Hoffman

He first performed in this play at Fairport High School in Rochester, NY. I was a teacher there at the time and was lucky enough to see him then. How wonderful to see him on Broadway. ... Read more
