The Post reported that on Tuesday, a woman caused a bit of a ruckus from her seat during the first act of the three-hour tragic play. Clarke, who won the 2020 Olivier for Best Actress, as Ben’s wife Linda Loman, André De Shields, a Tony and Grammy-winner for Hadestown and Emmy-winner for Ain’t Misbehavin’, as Willy’s older brother Ben, and Khris Davis and McKinley Belcher III as Willy’s sons Biff and Happy. He was nominated for the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role in a Play for the West End production in 2020. The latest revival of Arthur Miller’s classic, which continues at The Hudson Theatre through January 15, stars the Treme and The Wire star in the lead role of tragic Willy Loman. As reported by The New York Post, a disruptive woman stalled the show to the point that Wendell Pierce was forced to break character in an attempt to calm her down, before police removed her from the theater.
The drama came from the audience instead of the stage during Tuesday evening’s production of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.
