About the Show

This production of the classic Arthur Miller play, about how Willy Loman finds his career and family crumbling around him, earned seven Tony nominations, including Best Revival.

Set in the late 1940s, Death of the Salesman follows traveling salesman Willy Loman (Philip Seymour Hoffman) as he slowly unravels. The play explores the complicated family relationship between Willy, his wife, Linda (Linda Emond), and their adult sons, Biff (Andrew Garfield) and Happy (Finn Wittrock). In this Pulitzer Prize and Tony-winning drama, playwright Arthur Miller examines how far one man will go to provide for his family and achieve the American dream.

Powerful, Ambitious, Great script, Great set, Strong ensemble

See it if you love classic AM. Intelligent, moving, faithful revival. Puts van Hove's Crucible to shame. Original set shines. Wonderful performances.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy serious drama. DEATH is heavy lifting. This production is better than Dustin Hoffman version. Read more
