Summary
Nine Tony nominations went to the Broadway revival of “Death of a Salesman,” with bids for Nathan Lane, Laurie Metcalf, Joe Mantello and best revival.
At the Winter Garden Theatre through Aug. 9, Mantello directs Lane as Willy Loman and Metcalf as Linda, with Ben Ahlers and Christopher Abbott playing Biff and Happy.
The production draws on decades of collaboration among the three nominees, who previously worked together on Broadway in David Mamet’s “November” in 2008.
That long-running rapport is central to the revival’s portrayal of the Loman family, a dynamic the actors and director said shaped Arthur Miller’s drama onstage.
