"There’s no doubt that Mantello has made a beautiful, atmospheric production, full of exquisitely calibrated performances."

"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."

About Death of a Salesman

Three-time Tony Award® winner Nathan Lane, two-time Tony Award® winner Laurie Metcalf, and Christopher Abbott return to Broadway in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, with Ben Ahlers, directed by two-time Tony Award® winner Joe Mantello. Called “the greatest American play” by critic Kenneth Tynan (The Observer), this new production is shaped by insights and impulses uncovered in Miller’s early archival drafts, giving modern audiences a fresh perspective and deeper understanding of the play’s inner workings. The landmark American drama, whose first production was described as “bringing the whole theatre alive” by critic Brooks Atkinson (The New York Times), begins previews March 6 at the Winter Garden Theatre.
