Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter Reunite on Broadway for Iconic Play

As of November 15, 2025, acclaimed actors Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are captivating audiences on Broadway with their performance in the revival of Samuel Beckett's masterpiece, Waiting for Godot. The two friends, who rose to fame together in the Bill and Ted films, have reunited on stage after brainstorming ways to work together again around four years ago.

During a recent interview, Winter explained that the idea to take on this production stemmed from their shared background in theater. "We both come from theater, we both had cast a bunch of ideas around," he said. "I thought it was a brilliant idea. I certainly was well aware of the monumental nature of the task at hand."

Reeves echoed his co-star's sentiment, noting that the play's exploration of philosophical questions about life and friendship aligned well with their own longstanding bond. "I think we're a really good fit for the play. The two characters have a long-term friendship. We kind of cull from the text that they were performers together."

Beckett's Waiting for Godot, which first premiered in French in 1953 and then in English in 1955, is widely regarded as one of the most significant plays of the 20th century. A cultural touchstone that has inspired countless artists, the production currently running at Broadway's Hudson Theatre also features a talented supporting cast.
