Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, known for their roles in the Bill & Ted film franchise, are currently starring in the Broadway production of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot. The pair, who are real-life friends, recently participated in a panel event at The New Yorker Festival in New York, where they discussed the theater community's reaction to Reeves' Broadway debut.
According to Winter, the Broadway world has been "very warm" and "quite inviting" towards the Hollywood stars. He revealed that even when they presented an award at the Tony Awards in June, everyone was "really lovely" about their involvement. However, both Reeves and Winter admitted to feeling "panicking" and "paralyzed" before the show, with Winter saying he looked up at Reeves and saw he was "similarly paralyzed."
Despite the initial jitters, the production has been a success, with Winter describing it as "one of my favorite shows we've done." The pair's friendship and camaraderie on stage have been well-received by audiences and the theater community alike.
