Overview
- The revival, which opened Thursday at the Winter Garden Theatre, is drawing strong early reviews and is scheduled to run through August 9.
- Director Joe Mantello stages the drama inside Willy’s mind, collapsing past and present and casting separate actors as the sons in their teen and adult years.
- Chloe Lamford’s stark, warehouse‑like set features a full‑size 1964 Chevy that remains onstage as a clear emblem of work, mobility and identity.
- Critics single out Nathan Lane’s Willy as a career‑capping turn and praise Laurie Metcalf’s Linda, while a few reviews say some performances and the production’s scale feel overblown.
- Produced by Scott Rudin, Barry Diller and Roy Furman, the high‑profile revival ties Miller’s American Dream critique to current worries about relevance, status and inequality.
