About Waiting for Godot on Broadway
Get Waiting for Godot tickets and see Bill & Ted co-stars Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) and Alex Winter (Freaked) reunite in this starry revival of Samuel Beckett’s masterpiece. The legendary British artist and two-time Tony Award nominee Jamie Lloyd (Betrayal, A Doll’s House, Sunset Boulevard) directs this new production, employing his signature minimalist and moody stylings that fit perfectly into this simply staged, yet profound, classic.
Experience Waiting for Godot in New York, one of the most highly anticipated revivals of the new theatre season. In Waiting for Godot on Broadway, Reeves plays Estragon, and Winter plays Vladimir, two men who wait — and wait — for someone named Godot to appear. Whether he does or not may (or may not) be the point of Beckett’s beloved play that has been reinvented countless times for new audiences.

More information about Waiting for Godot on Broadway
In a poll conducted by the British Royal National Theatre in 1998/99, Waiting for Godot was voted as the "most significant English-language play of the 20th century.” The play is absurd, hilarious, and utterly itself: existential as it looks at what keeps us from moving forward and towards what we want, its themes have been found in many works, and its influential structure was most recently seen on Broadway in Pass Over, the new play that reopened Broadway after COVID, its own time of anxiety and waiting.
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will now take on the play’s classic roles. The two are longtime buds, which will work nicely for their onstage character. Reeves and Winter starred in the sci-fi comedy Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and have gone on to create sequels and spin-offs from that work while also pursuing their own careers. Now, they come to New York to star for the first time together on Broadway after decades of joint filmmaking.
What to watch for
- Alex Winter has appeared on Broadway before as a teenager, in The King and I, Peter Pan, and Close of Play.
- While Keanu Reeves is known for his film career, he has been in theatrical productions before, including playing Hamlet, but this performance marks his Broadway debut.
- Jamie Lloyd often employs videography, stark lighting, and minimal props in his shows, as seen in his Tony Award-winning revival of Sunset Boulevard.
- Samuel Beckett is famous for being one of Ireland’s most celebrated playwrights and is known for his blending of dark and light humor in his pieces that can lean, as with this one, more experimental.
