Why see Death of a Salesman?
Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf star!
Winner of six Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Play!
Tony and Drama Desk Award-winning director Joe Mantello's hotly anticipated new production of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman is now playing on Broadway! A play that explores the binding grip of the 'American Dream', Death Of a Salesman won the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play in 1949, solidifying Arthur Miller as one of the greatest playwrights of the 20th century.
The revival features a star-studded cast doing the justice that such a seminal work deserves, with Nathan Lane (Guys and Dolls; The Producers), Laurie Metcalf (Three Tall Women; Lady Bird), Christopher Abbott (Catch 22; James White) and Ben Ahlers (The Last of Us) transporting the play to new and breathtaking 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 Lomans 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

Rochester, NY. I was a teacher there at the time and was
