Death of a Salesman

[skynyc]

I've not been on for awhile, but had to mention that the current Death of a Salesman with Nathan Lane and Laurie Metcalf at the Winter Garden is the best of the six productions I've seen over the years. Lane is lost from the first scene...he doesn't grow into his instability. Metcalf and Christopher Abbott who plays Biff are both extraordinary. Joe Mantello's direction is spare and very effective. Runs 2:50 with an intermission, and I didn't look at my watch once.
