Nathan Lane & Laurie Metcalf To Lead DEATH OF A SALESMAN This Spring On Broadway

Bye bye Mamma Mia, hello Willy Loman! This morning it was announced that Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf will lead Arthur Miller’s Death Of A Salesman on Broadway this spring at the Winter Garden Theatre. Directed by Joe Mantello, the production will also star Christopher Abbott and Ben Ahlers for its limited 14-week run. Previews are set to begin Friday, March 6, 2026 with an official opening night set for Thursday, April 9, 2026. 

“In 1995 while rehearsing a Terrence McNally play with Joe, he turned to me one afternoon out of the blue and quietly said, ‘Someday you and I are going to do Death of a Salesman.’ And true to his word, 30 years later, that day has come. I couldn’t be more thrilled and honored to follow in the footsteps of so many great actors in tackling the role of Willy Loman, especially with the brilliant Laurie Metcalf by my side and the remarkable cast Joe is assembling. It’s a privilege to do what is arguably the greatest drama of the twentieth century, and like all great plays it always seems to speak to us anew each time we see it,” said Nathan Lane. 

 "It’s been incredibly rewarding to work closely with the Arthur Miller Estate who’ve so generously opened the archive and encouraged real exploration. Looking through Miller’s early drafts revealed insights into the play’s first impulses — including some surprising theatrical ideas that feel both deeply familiar and unexpectedly modern,” added Joe Mantello. 

‍Death of a Salesman’s creative team will include scenic design by Chloe Lamford, costume design by Rudy Mance, lighting design by Jack Knowles, and sound design by Mikaal Sulaiman.
