The upcoming revival of Samuel Beckett's
Waiting for Godot to star Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter (co-stars of three
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure films) has announced dates and a theater. The production to be directed by Jamie Lloyd (
Sunset Blvd.) will begin previews Sept. 13 at the Hudson Theater, open on Sept. 28 for a limited run through Jan. 4, 2026. This will be the fifth Broadway production of Beckett's classic existential comedy-drama. Previous Broadway stagings have starred Bert Lahr and EG Marhsall (1956); Earl Hyman and Mantan Moreland (1957); Nathan Lane and Bill Irwin (2009); Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart (2013). Major Off-Broadway revivals have starred Robin Williams and Steve Martin (1988); Jon Turturro and Tony Shalhoub (1998); and Michael Shannon and Paul Sparks (2023). Additional casting for this production will be announced at a later date.
Additional news: Leslie Odom, Jr. will return to the Broadway company of Hamilton in his Tony-winning role of Aaron Burr, Sept. 9--Nov. 23.
Signature Theater Company has announced three productions for its 2025-26 Off-Broadway season: Oratorio for Living Things, Heather Christian's musical-theater piece which won several awards during a 2022 Off-Broadway run (fall); Lauren Yee's Mother Russia, a dark comedy set in 1992 St. Petersburg (winter); and Christian's Animal Wisdom, a musical blending of storytelling, mythology, blues, folk, and gospel (spring 2026).
