Stage instead of movies
Reeves makes Broadway debut with ‘Bill & Ted’ buddy
Hollywood star Keanu Reeves is switching from the film set to the theater stage. The actor, who turns 60 on September 2, is to make his Broadway debut in the fall of 2025 with a leading role in the classic "Waiting for Godot" in New York.
According to the producers, the play will be staged by renowned British director Jamie Lloyd. Reeves will meet his fellow actor Alex Winter (59).
Joint cult film
The duo are known for their joint cult comedy "Bill & Ted's Crazy Journey Through Time" (1989) and two sequels to the science fiction series. The original film was one of Reeves' first films in Hollywood.
"Our favorite"
"We are very much looking forward to being on stage together and working with the great Jamie Lloyd on one of our favorite plays," the industry magazine "Playbill" quoted from a statement by Reeves and Winter.
The Irish playwright Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) published his play "Waiting for Godot" in 1953. It is considered the epitome of absurdist theater. The two tramps Vladimir and Estragon wait in vain for a certain Godot. In the meantime, they have conversations about life. Reeves is supposed to play Estragon, Winter Wladimir.
