Get Waiting for Godot tickets on New York Theatre Guide and see longtime friends and acclaimed stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter in the newest revival of Samuel Beckett’s masterpiece. The Bill & Ted co-stars share the stage for the first time, with Reeves making his Broadway debut and Winter returning for the first time in decades to lead a simple yet profound classic.
What are you waiting for? Experience Waiting for Godot on Broadway and see a captivating new production from two-time Tony Award nominee and multiple Olivier Award winner Jamie Lloyd. That famous British director is known for his stripped-down productions, which have riveted audiences with their stirring performances and seemingly bare but highly evocative designs.
Lloyd is a master of working with celebrities to reinvent beloved pieces of theatre: Jessica Chastain starred in his incendiary production of A Doll’s House and he brought Nicole Scherzinger to Broadway in Sunset Boulevard. Now, Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) and Alex Winter (Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) will star opposite one another as Estragon and Vladimir, respectively, in this fresh take on Beckett’s classic.
In a joint statement, Reeves and Winter said, “We’re incredibly excited to be on stage together and work with the great Jamie Lloyd in one of our favorite plays.”
Lloyd said in a statement, “It is a real honor to be collaborating with the brilliant Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter on Samuel Beckett’s sublime masterpiece — one of the greatest plays of all time.”
In Waiting for Godot, Estragon and Vladimir await a man named Godot. Whether he arrives or not is perhaps not the point of the play, which has charmed audiences since its 1953 premiere. Bill Irwin, Ian McKellen, and Patrick Stewart have all performed in versions of the play, which remains wildly open to interpretation. Now, it’s time for a new generation of audiences to greet this play and see film stars take on the iconic roles. Tickets to Waiting for Godot in New York are available now.

Samuel Beckett’s classic play is an existential comedy in which two characters, Vladimir and Estragon, wait for a man named Godot to arrive. Whether he comes at all might be besides the point.
Samuel Beckett, one of Ireland’s most accomplished playwrights, wrote this play that has been staged countless times.
Olivier Award winner Jamie Lloyd, most recently on Broadway with Sunset Boulevard, directs this production.
It's a classic: in a poll conducted by the British Royal National Theatre in 1998/99, it was voted as the "most significant English-language play of the 20th century.”
