What the critics say
“As this production makes clear, Miller’s Willy is a more carefully drawn character than that. He’s not simply an avatar for all us little guys.”
“...for all its nuances and boosted flavors here, a stark and gutting tragedy. I didn’t always want to, but I found myself buying it.”
“Down to the smallest roles, this production is astutely cast, and its arresting design elements add a suitably shabby grandeur to the play’s unsparing view of America’s broken promises.”
“I consider this revival to be the best account of Miller's play I've ever encountered, and the best I'm likely ever to see.”
“There's no such thing as a definitive staging of 'Death of a Salesman,' but this version ranks as the finest Broadway production of any classic play in many years.”
“Firing on all cylinders to bring a great classic to life!”
“A revival that rips the varnish off the Lomans and leaves the delusion bare.”
“'I've seen many productions of this landmark play, but this one stands out for its raw emotional power and its connection to our current national state of disillusionment.”
“This Death of a Salesman got deep in my bones, and it's been a while since a theatrical experience has given me that powerful emotional response that Aristotle called catharsis.”
“That's a reflection on the inherent quality of Arthur Miller's work, that it continues to speak to an audience despite the passage of close to 80 years since it was first presented.”
“Nearly 80 years after Salesman was first performed, Joe Mantello directs a production that proves the play's sharp thorns have not dulled over time.”
““This is by far not the best revival of “Death of a Salesman,” but is certainly worth seeing, just for the words spoken by this devasting family that is torn apart by self-destruction.””
“Attention certainly must be paid to this production with audiences getting another chance to see one of the most celebrated plays of the American canon.”
“undeniably a Prestige Production, but it’s one that strains for effect, from the casting of Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf, who are two of Broadway’s finest actors but are not an ideal fit for their roles, to the steady flow of stage smoke, which constantly reminds us: This is lyrical”
“While Linda gets some of the showiest speeches — which Laurie Metcalf delivers with attention-demanding skill — Nathan Lane’s Willy remains the absolute center of this hauntingly spare revival. ★★★★☆”
