Laurie Metcalf Wins Third Tony Award

Laurie Metcalf joined the club of three-time Tony Award winners when she won the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play for her performance as Linda Loman in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman.

Metcalf also won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Featured Performer in a Broadway Play for the role. In his review for TheaterMania, Pete Hempstead said about Metcalf that it was “one of her finest performances ever.”

Metcalf won her other two Tony Awards in consecutive years, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play in 2017 for A Doll’s House, Part 2, and Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Play in 2018 for Three Tall Women. She has been nominated a total of seven times. Her other nominations were in 2008 (November), 2013 (The Other Place), 2016 (Misery), and 2019 (Hillary and Clinton).

Earlier this season, Metcalf also starred in Little Bear Ridge Road, which closed in December. Death of a Salesman is currently running at the Winter Garden Theatre.
