"As this production makes clear, Miller’s Willy is a more carefully drawn character than that. He’s not simply an avatar for all us little guys."

"Nearly 80 years after Salesman was first performed, Joe Mantello directs a production that proves the play's sharp thorns have not dulled over time."

"There's no such thing as a definitive staging of 'Death of a Salesman,' but this version ranks as the finest Broadway production of any classic play in many years."
