Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, known for their roles in the “Bill & Ted” films, are set to reunite on Broadway for a production of Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” in the fall of 2025. The idea for the reunion came from Reeves himself, and the production will be directed by Jamie Lloyd, known for his intense and minimalist style.
Reeves will take on the role of Estragon, while Winter will play Vladimir in this classic tragicomedy about two characters waiting for a mysterious figure who never arrives. Lloyd praised the chemistry and friendship between Reeves and Winter, highlighting their wit and humor as assets that will enhance the production.
“Waiting for Godot” was first performed in the 1950s and has been revived several times on Broadway. This production will mark Reeves’ Broadway debut, adding another challenge to his diverse acting career. Winter, who has experience writing and directing, returns to the stage after appearing in musical revivals in his teenage years.
The two actors first collaborated in the late 1980s on the “Bill & Ted” films, which have since become cult classics. Their upcoming Broadway production promises to bring a blend of humor, depth, and friendship to the stage.
Reuniting these bantering buddies on Broadway is a highly anticipated event for fans of both actors and theater enthusiasts alike. Stay tuned for more updates as the production of “Waiting for Godot” unfolds in the upcoming years.
