Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, beloved for their roles in the cult classic Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, are set to embark on a new journey together.
The iconic duo will star in a Broadway revival of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, directed by Jamie Lloyd. The production is scheduled to premiere in Fall 2025.
This exciting collaboration marks Reeves’ Broadway debut. The John Wick star, alongside Winter, 59, expressed their enthusiasm in a joint statement: “We’re incredibly excited to be on stage together and work with the great Jamie Lloyd in one of our favorite plays.”
The revival promises a fresh take on Beckett’s seminal work. Jamie Lloyd, known for his innovative direction of the West End production of Romeo & Juliet starring Tom Holland, brings his distinctive vision to the Broadway stage. This new project has generated significant buzz among theater enthusiasts and fans of the actors alike.
Reeves and Winter will portray Estragon and Vladimir, respectively. Their casting has generated excitement, as the chemistry and camaraderie they showcased in their roles as Bill S. Preston, Esq., and Theodore “Ted” Logan are expected to bring a unique dynamic to Beckett’s play.
The duo first became friends while filming the 1989 classic Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. Their on-screen partnership extended into the sequels Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey and Bill & Ted Face the Music, solidifying their status as a beloved pair in popular culture. Their transition to Broadway is a testament to their enduring collaboration and versatility as performers.
Fans eagerly anticipate this reunion on stage, where Reeves and Winter will explore the existential themes of Waiting for Godot with the same energy and charm that made their previous collaborations so memorable. The revival is poised to be a highlight of the Broadway season, offering a fresh perspective on Beckett’s timeless play.
With the combined star power of Reeves and Winter, the direction of Jamie Lloyd, and the timeless appeal of Beckett’s work, Waiting for Godot is set to be a must-see production in the Fall of 2025.
