I'll cast another vote to the 2008 revival of Sunday in the Park with George.

An absolutely perfect production of my favorite musical.

DEATH OF A SALESMAN is such a good and important play by Arthur Miller that each time it is revived it seems to have had a very fine production. The most recent example starred Brian Dennehy and a poster on this thread cites it as being hard to beat. I did not see this version, but in 1975 I saw DEATH OF A SALESMAN directed by and starring the brilliant George C. Scott at The Circle in the Square. And I would maintain that that production, co- starring Teresa Wright, with James Farintino and Harvey Keitel as the two sons, was very hard to beat. It sold out for the entire run, with standing room available only on the day of the performance starting at 6 am. At the end of the play there was not a dry eye in the house. It was indeed memorable theatre.
