This marks the second Broadway play produced by Scott Rudin and Barry Diller, since Rudin left the industry in the wake of a Hollywood Reporter story about workplace bullying. The revival will be directed by Joe Mantello. Christopher Abbott will star as Biff Loman to Lane's Willy Loman and Metcalf's Linda Loman. The play is set for a 14-week run at the Winter Garden Theatre, a larger theater for plays with 1,600 seats and recent home to Clooney's Goodnight, and Good Luck, starting March 6, ahead of an April 9 opening. Metcalf currently stars in Rudin's Little Bear Ridge Road, directed by Mantello, which is running at the Booth Theatre on Broadway until Feb. 15.

Clarke. "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," Nathan Lane said in a statement. "Collaboration is everything in the theater. I am lucky to be going from one exciting project to another with Joe Mantello - and in the very same season. Joe and Nathan are longtime collaborators, and my shared history with - and deep respect for - them makes what might otherwise feel daunting feel familiar, and absolutely thrilling," Metcalf said.
