The Hollywood Reporter
April 22nd, 2019

"One of the dramatic highlights of the Broadway season, the production features outstanding performances from a stellar cast headed by Annette Benning, Tracy Letts and Benjamin Walker, with impeccable direction by Jack O'Brien...He delivers a mesmerizing, no-frills production whose slowly ratcheting tension never abates...As usual for Roundabout, the production values are excellent in every respect."

The Observer
April 23rd, 2019

“Best Show of the Broadway Season...A polished, moving and beautifully mounted revival...Told in restrained but intensely emotional terms...the play still delivers a gut punch...So many things to applaud in the heart-stopping dramatic impact of this exemplary production...You can start with the most fabulous set...You can applaud O’Brien’s fluid direction...And finally, there’s the cast...’All My Sons' soars again, with its original values intact, stronger and tougher than ever.”

Entertainment Weekly
April 22nd, 2019

"Bening is excellent as Kate, who holds so ferociously to the belief her son can’t be dead because of what else she’ll have to accept if he is, while actor-playwright Letts holds court as the seemingly genial patriarch with tension simmering beneath that calm exterior. And Walker’s Chris is tragic in a very different way...It all comes together in a stellar, harrowing production that reinforces why Miller’s works still endure so many decades later."

Los Angeles Times
April 22nd, 2019

"The production seems caught between a solid midcentury Broadway realism and a more theatrically fluid 21st century approach. But the core of the play, the situation of a disillusioned son’s inevitable confrontation with his hypocritical father that Miller would potently redeploy in 'Death of a Salesman,' is explosively renewed...O’Brien’s ensemble mixes realism with contemporary classicism in a catch-as-catch-can way. It’s the acting equivalent of a mixed salad."

AM New York
April 22nd, 2019

"In the current highly charged news cycle, with constant accusations of corporate and governmental misdeeds and inhumanity, 'All My Sons' feels especially timely...This revival gets to the heart of Miller’s writing and brings out increasingly intense and layered performances, making for highly compelling and confrontational theater."

NY1
April 23rd, 2019

“Though locked in a specific time and place, the play's themes are as relevant and haunting today...A shattering production...As written, directed and performed, it's as devastating a scene as you're ever likely to see on a Broadway stage. What could so easily turn melodramatic is directed by O'Brien to maximum dramatic effect without sacrificing emotional honesty...The three principals, acting their hearts out, seem right at home.”

Theatermania

"If one is willing to overlook the incongruity of making George black but keeping Ann white, there's something empowering in Ogbuagu and Fluker playing the grim truth tellers amid a sea of white characters who are all suffering from varying degrees of self-delusion...However, this production is a straightforward presentation...Still, if seeing a powerful drama staged and performed well is enough of a reward, then this new production mostly satisfies."

Lighting & Sound America
May 2nd, 2019

"An immaculate revival...The wonder of Jack O'Brien's production is how it embraces the creaks in Miller's dramaturgy, making them seem irrelevant to the real business at hand...O'Brien orchestrates the rising tensions among the Kellers with the skill of a master conductor...O'Brien has cast the production with care, finding actors who can transform Miller's sometimes-wooden dialogue into the cadence of natural speech, also skirting any hint of melodrama."
