Giant is one of the greatest things I've ever seen on stage. Will you be in New York for Death of a Salesman?

I don't think so, but I saw the 2018 revival with Wendell pierce and I can't see anything touching that.

EDIT: I am there, I'll check out prices, Laurie Metcalf dragging Bruce Willis to a semi decent performance was a miracle, intrigued to see her opposite someone talented.

Nordic Giants for Glasgow and Edinburgh still showing tickets. I'd expect the others are still too. No Ireland date on that new album tour unfortunately, I'd even offerd to be the transport for them if it would make it happen 😅
