Run Duration

Nathan Lane stars in Death of a Salesman on Broadway through June 14, 2026. The revival moved into the Winter Garden Theatre in February 2026 after rehearsals began at Lincoln Center.

Cast and Creative Team

The production features Nathan Lane as the delusional salesman Willy Loman, with Laurie Metcalf playing his wife Linda. Christopher Abbott and Ben Ahlers play the couple's sons, Biff and Happy. Joe Mantello directs the revival, and Scott Rudin produces. This marks Metcalf's collaboration with Rudin following his return to Broadway after a four-year absence.

Production Approach

Director Joe Mantello has moved away from the traditional naturalistic kitchen-sink set design. Instead, the production uses a minimalist approach, with a plywood box representing a 1964 Chevy that dominates the stage. This represents a departure from the play's original staging conventions.

Historical Context

Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman first premiered on Broadway in 1949 and remains a cornerstone of American theatre. This Nathan Lane revival represents the seventh Broadway production of the play, following interpretations by actors including Dustin Hoffman, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Lee J. Cobb, Brian Dennehy, and others.
