See it if you’ve never seen a production of this play before. It’s central to the American theatre canon and should be seen at least once.
Don't see it if you have trouble sitting through long shows or need to find characters likable. This is watching a self-centered, broken man for 3 hours.
See it if You like important plays & want to see a current, updated casting & meaning of the play. The cast is great, standouts are Pierce and Clarke

"Maybe the enduring message of this production is that these themes are universal, that we all suffer the same under the yolk of The American Dream. And that, in spite of the odds, we all aspire to be great."

"There’s no doubt that casting a Black actor as Willy Loman (for the first time on Broadway, no less) adds a deeper dimension to this monumental role."

"Ms. Cromwell’s production is, nonetheless, emotionally wrenching as it digs fiercely into the heart of the play."

"The script is unchanged – and surprisingly accommodating to the fresh point of view...infusing the production with a legacy and identity all its own."

"The mournful irony Miller built into 'Death of a Salesman' is especially potent now, when our world so often feels as if it’s hanging by a thread. "
