Um, like, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are really going to star in a Broadway play.
The former stars of “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” movies will play Estragon and Vladimir in Samuel Beckett’s classic, Waiting for Godot. Jamie Lloyd will direct.
The production is set for the fall of 2025.
I kid you not.
Of course, this will sell out in minutes.
Producers are The Jamie Lloyd Company, ATG Productions, Bad Robot Live, and Gavin Kalin Productions. 101 Productions, Ltd. will serve as general manager. Bad Robot Live is owned by producer-director JJ Abrams.
Why would he do this to us?Beckett is rolling over in his grave, that much is understood. How bad can this be? Is it an April Fool’s joke? The last production on Broadway of “Waiting for Godot” starred Sirs Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen. I mean, come on.
You want to be hip and say, Hey that sounds good! But really, it doesn’t, and it’s just like making fun of real theater. They have a year to rehearse, I guess.
