Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, the iconic duo from the beloved Bill & Ted film series, are set to make their Broadway debut together in a highly anticipated revival of Samuel Beckett’s existential masterpiece, Waiting for Godot. Scheduled to open in the fall of 2025, the production promises to bring a fresh take on this brainy and thought-provoking classic.

The upcoming Broadway revival will be directed by Jamie Lloyd, a four-time Tony nominee known for his innovative approach to theater.

Lloyd, who is also set to direct a revival of Sunset Boulevard later this year, is expected to bring a unique vision to Beckett’s landmark play. The director’s previous work has been praised for its fresh perspectives and dynamic staging, making him a fitting choice for this revival.

Waiting for Godot first premiered on Broadway in 1956 and has since been revived multiple times, with the most recent notable production featuring Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart in 2013.

The play explores themes of existentialism and human despair through the story of two tramps, Estragon and Vladimir, who wait for the arrival of the elusive Godot. The play’s vaudevillian humor and deep philosophical questions have made it a staple of modern theater.

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, best known for their roles as Bill and Ted in the Bill & Ted films, will take on the roles of Estragon and Vladimir, respectively.
