Death of a salesman tells the story of Willie Lohman, a traveling salesman chasing the American dream but never quite able to reach it.

Now the classic is back on Broadway in a new production that underscores the play's enduring relevance.

And audiences and critics alike are responding.

The revival has become both a box office and critical success, earning nine Tony Award nominations

more than any other play this season.

Senior arts correspondent Jeffrey Brown joined two of today's leading actors, Nathan Lane and

Laurie Metcalfe at the Winter Garden Theater for our arts and culture series Canvas.

Willie, what has he got against you?

I'm so tired. Let's not talk anymore.

It's death of a salesman at once familiar and as we've never seen it before.

Willie Lohman played by Nathan Lane, his wife Linda, Lori Medcalf.

Their sons, Biff and Happy, Christopher Abbott and Ben Allers.

But instead of domestic furniture, a 64 Chevy dominates the stage.

Rather than their post-war home where the play is typically set,

a timeless and placeless industrial warehouse.

Are we in your mind?

We're in my mind.

Well, we're in Willie's mind.

By taking it out of the domesticity of a house in 1949, I think it has freed the play.

It feels like Greek tragedy. It certainly is American

tragedy, even the American tragedy. It's not what you say. It's how you say it, because

personality always wins the day. Oliver always thought the highest of him. You let me talk.
