‘Death of a Salesman’ Starring Nathan Lane Makes a Powerful Debut

A major contributor to this positive trend was the highly anticipated revival of Arthur Miller’s classic, Death of a Salesman, starring the acclaimed Nathan Lane alongside Laurie Metcalf, Christopher Abbott, and Ben Ahlers at the Winter Garden Theatre. The production sold out its first two preview performances, generating an impressive $329,821. The buzz surrounding Lane’s performance is palpable, and opening night on April 9th is eagerly awaited.
