Road Trip to Broadway Anyone?

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will be will be starring in a production of "Waiting for Godot" on Broadway at some point in late 2005.

I want to see this.  I think that it would be very good.

It may not be as good as Donald Moffat and Dana Elcar's 1970s version, but I want to see this. 

Call it Bill and Ted’s Existentialist Adventure.

Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, the actors who incarnated a pair of slacker musicians for three “Bill & Ted” films, are planning to reunite for a Broadway revival of “Waiting for Godot.”

The production, planned for the fall of 2025, will be directed by Jamie Lloyd, one of the hottest directors of the moment, whose work is characterized by a spare aesthetic and an emphasis on psychological intensity.

Lloyd said that the project was Reeves’s idea, but that as soon as the actor approached him, “it was a no-brainer that this needed to be done.”

I guess that they had to put a Bill and Ted reference in there, and the chemistry that they showed in that series will be an asset in Sam Beckett play.
