"'Death of a Salesman' is a brilliant taxonomy of the spiritual atrophy of mid-twentieth-century white America."
"I was the first critic ever to win a Tony - for co-authoring 'Elaine Stritch at Liberty.' Criticism is a life without risk; the critic is risking his opinion, the maker is risking his life. It's a humbling thought but important for the critic to keep it in mind - a thought he can only know if he's made something himself."
"Theatre people, who are an adaptive species, know that to remain sane in the process of production where everyone and his uncle has an opinion about how to fix a show, you must pick the people whose knowledge and taste you trust and stick only to these few. The Tweetocracy is no place to look." - John Lahr (senior drama critic at The New Yorker and, yes, son of actor Bert Lahr)
