The new Broadway revival of 'Death of a Salesman' makes for an accessible, compelling, and distinctive re-envisioning.
monumental work that speaks to American identity, desire, and regret and provides the kind of emotional catharsis that the Greeks had in mind when they invented drama.
The same goes for the questionable addition of blues songs and underscoring to the text, which bloats the running time to three hours and 10 minutes – about a half-hour longer than usual. The casting builds upon the play’s theme of losing out on the promise of the American Dream. This Willy may have believed that being “well-liked” was his way to overcome the limitations of structural racism. A program note also attempts to justify the concept historically by suggesting that this Willy would have begun his career during the Great Migration to the North and resided in Brooklyn’s diverse Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood.
As Willy’s long-lost older brother Ben, André De Shields displays the same strutting, stylized air that marked his Tony-winning performance in “Hadestown.” He also materializes out of smoke as if he were still playing the title role in “The Wiz.” Nevertheless, it works.
