Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will star in a new production of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot on Broadway, directed by Jamie Lloyd. The show will open fall 2025 at an ATG theater still to be announced.

Hollywood actor Reeves (John Wick, The Matrix) will make his Broadway debut as Estragon and Winter (Adulthood, The King & I) will play Vladimir in Beckett's avant-garde two-hander, which encourages audiences to reflect on the meaning of life and their own existence.

Director Jamie Lloyd said, “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 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's Olivier Award-winning production of Sunset Boulevard opens on Broadway this October, starring Nicole Scherzinger.
