Waiting for Godot on Broadway - NYC - Todaytix

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. *Waiting for Godot* plays at an ATG theatre to be announced, coming to Broadway in the fall of 2025. 

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](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/38372-sunset-boulevard-broadway)*. 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 will be available here soon.

Waiting for Godot on Broadway - NYC - NYTG

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.

Keanu Reeves makes his Broadway debut as Estragon in [*Waiting for Godot*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/41928-waiting-for-godot-on-broadway) on Broadway in fall 2025.

Reeves's cinematic career encompasses over 100 movies. He is best known for starring in the title role of the *John Wick* film series and as Neo in *The Matrix* and its sequels. Other screen credits that cemented him as an action hero include *Point Break* and *Speed*.

Reeves had his breakthrough, however, as Bill in 1989's *Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure*. He reprised the role in two sequels. He and his co-star, Alex Winter, reunite in *Waiting for Godot*.

The Hudson Theatre first opened on October 19, 1903, with *Cousin Kate* starring Ethel Barrymore. Although the firm of J. B. McElfatrick & Son first drew up the architectural design of the theatre in 1902, the firm of Israels & Harder ultimately took over and completed the project. The venue was built for theatrical producer Henry B. Harris, who managed the theatre until his death as a passenger on the RMS Titanic in 1912. 

During the 1930s and 1940s, the building was also used as for CBS Radio broadcasts when it wasn't being used for theatrical productions. NBC purchased the property in 1950, converting it into a permanent television studio. The venue housed *The Tonight Show* from 1954 to 1959.

Over the next few decades, under the ownership of developer Abraham Hirschfeld, the building was used for theatrical productions (1960 to 1968), as an adult movie house (from 1974), and as the Savoy rock club (from 1980). The Hudson Theatre was awarded New York landmark status in 1987.

Millennium & Copthorne Hotels purchased the Hudson in 1995 as a part of the surrounding luxury hotel known as the Millennium Broadway and used as a business conference center and auditorium. During this time, it was additionally used as a stand-up comedy venue for Comedy Central broadcasts.

In 2015, Ambassador Theatre Group purchased the venue as its second official Broadway venue, following the [Lyric Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatres/lyric-theatre). After fully shutting down and undergoing a major renovation, the Hudson reopened in 2017 with a revival of Stephen Sondheim's musical *Sunday in the Park with George,* starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Since the theatre first opened in 1903 and reopened from scratch in 2017, the Hudson is simultaneously Broadway's oldest and newest theatre.
