The Price: EW stage review

Thanks to his 40 years of work in movies and on TV — and his uniquely gnome-like, non-leading-man qualities — Danny DeVito is a performer with probably close to 100 percent name recognition. Me and you and everyone we’ve ever met know DeVito, whether from Taxi or Twins or Batman Returns or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. And yet the actor is strangely underappreciated for his extraordinary comic timing, humongous heart, and inimitable presence. His unforgettable performance in Arthur Miller’s The Price is serious reminder that DeVito belongs in the pantheon of greats. His supporting role — and the 72-year-old’s Broadway debut — completely steals the spotlight in this wobbly revival of one of Miller’s (deservedly) lesser-known plays about American male remorse and angst.
