A profound classic play
"I liked several aspects of the play. First, the complex interweaving of several family disfunctions that we all would recognize. Second, Willie's insatiable need for status is relevant today as it was in the 1950's. Third, the play referenced how the Loman family lived paycheck to paycheck. Most people did back then yet we thought we were prosperous but were only an accident or illness away from financial disaster. That resonates today as well. Finally the cast was superb. Give them all awards! There was nothing not to like."

Heart-wrenching portrayal of the complexities of life
"It was everything I hoped it would be. The actors poured everything into their performances. You could feel the agony, angst, frustration, sadness, abandonment, and confusion in every word and action. The story and its lessons are just as relevant today as they were the day this was written. The isolation, the pressure, the preferential treatment, the unwillingness to have hard conversations out loud, and the ramifications of it all are laid bare for all to witness, and to reflect on their own lives. Interpretation of course is part of the beauty of the arts, however I was bothered by the fact that so many in the audience laughed every time the wife was dismissed when she tried to include herself in the conversation. It was heartbreaking to watch and even worse to hear the laughter. Not a reflection on the cast of course, but on society in general."

Fantastic show, but bring a sweater
"The show was amazing, can’t say anything bad about the performance. But the theatre was as cold as a meat locker. It was absolutely freezing and this was a distraction from the performance. "

Superb Acting
"I enjoyed this play very much. The acting was probably some of the best I’ve seen on Broadway in a long time. I prefer musicals so I was surprised at how much I liked this. The characters will draw you into their world and you will feel their emotions. Only criticism I have is that I think the character of The Woman should have been a younger woman. "

Kudos to the Actors and Arthur Miller
"Arthur Miller wrote a timeless play that special actors can make come to life. The special cast of Death of a Salesman on Broadway for a limited run are able to do this. Lead by Nathan Lane in a truly inspiring performance and ably supported by his fellow actors. It is easily the best straight play that I have seen in years. Run, don't walk to see it."

What a great show
"“Death of a Salesman” was truly an incredible and unforgettable Broadway experience.
This production was moving, powerful. The raw honesty of Willy Loman’s struggles, dreams, disappointments, and desperate pursuit of success hits hard.
The cast delivered exceptional performances that drew the audience completely into the emotional weight of the story. There were moments of heartbreak, frustration, and reflection that lingered long after the curtain fell.
This is not a feel-good show, but it is an important one. Thought-provoking, emotionally charged, and beautifully performed. "

Great American Classic
"This group of Amazing actors is bringing to life an American classic by letting us appreciate the great writer that Miller was! Audience members were moved to tears! I heard some woman being asked a question by her friend after the show and she said”I can’t talk right now”! She just wanted a moment to take it all in! Great direction and acting make this the new version for other productions to live up to! Bravo!"

A Classic Revisited
"Miller's moving script stands the test of time regarding family relationships and the pressure to succeed. Beautiful performance by Laurie Metcalf; the rest of the cast while good, don't quite reach her level. Some of it feels a little broad and you might yearn to be seeing it in a slightly more intimate setting, but it was a wonderful night at the theatre. "
