Fantastic show, mediocre audience
"The performances were, with few exceptions, the best I've seen. Nathan Lane commands every scene he's in despite the pitiful character of Willy, and Laurie Metcalf brought myself and those around me to tears. Jonathan Cake's Uncle Ben was especially menacing and memorable. The only characters that were a bit weak (in comparison to the otherwise stacked cast) were the younger versions of Biff and Hap, but didn't bring down the scenes much. The casting of K. Todd Freeman and Michael Washington was quite interesting to me, as it added a certain subtly racial dimension to Willy's final refusal to Charley, which wasn't present in the script, but I felt added depth without losing the heart of the scene."

A very moving production
"The performances of the actors were second to none. It's an old play, but it held up beautifully. It was great to see Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf using their serious theater chops, and Christopher Abbott and Ben Ahlers, who played their adult sons, both delivered masterful performances. There was not a dry eye in the house in the end. "

Heart-rending, tragic and spectacular
"This was, simply, the best performance I’ve ever seen. The actors - all of them - fully inhabited their characters. Every aspect of the play was respected beautifully and interpreted interestingly. Nathan Lane WAS Willy. He wasn’t acting a part. He became the character. Laurie Metcalf became Linda Loman, transforming powerfully into the vortex of the family whirlpool. As her character said both powerfully and tragically, “Attention must be paid”. Thank you for a breathtaking and heartbreaking night at the theatre. "

The actors were amazing!
"I had high expectations for this show and it did not disappoint. Laurie Metcalf's performance almost over-shadowed Nathan Lane's fantastic performance. You truly felt Linda's love for Willy and struggles in the family dynamic."

A sad story told beautifully
"The acting was incredible. I cried, smiled, and laughed as the characters and protagonists took me by the hand and walked me through their lives. I wanted to wait for Laurie after the play to let her know she'd be alright, give a her a hug and my number if she needed to talk. That's how gifted these actors are - the play was perfection."

A Stunning Production
