Which 2026 Tony-winning revival received Best Revival of a Play for Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman?

The story behind the answer

Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman won Best Revival of a Play at the 2026 Tony Awards.

The production revived Miller’s landmark 1949 drama about Willy Loman, an aging salesman whose hopes for success collide with family pressures and economic reality. The 2026 staging competed against several other play revivals, including Becky Shaw, Every Brilliant Thing, Fallen Angels, and Oedipus.

The revival was the ceremony’s biggest overall winner, collecting six Tony Awards. Joe Mantello also won Best Direction of a Play for the production, while Laurie Metcalf won Featured Actress in a Play for Linda Loman. The show’s other recognized designers and performers helped make it the night’s dominant play revival.

The title is often shortened to Death of a Salesman, although the 2026 Tony listing identifies it as Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. It is a revival rather than a new play because Miller’s earlier work was being presented again on Broadway.
