How much are tickets to see Keanu Reeves in ‘Waiting for Godot’ on Broadway?

Bill and Ted are totally going highbrow.

Starting Sept. 13, “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” co-stars Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are reuniting to share the stage in “Waiting for Godot” at Broadway’s Hudson Theatre.

The Jamie Lloyd-directed show is the latest update of Samuel Beckett’s absurd 1953 play that follows two men, Estragon (Reeves, making his Broadway debut) and Vladimir (Winter), who wait for Godot, whom neither has never met. The pair encounter another interesting duo — Lucky (Michael Patrick Thornton) and Pozzo (TBD) — and unusual events unfold.

This will be the fifth Broadway staging of the seminal production; most recently, Ian McKellan and Patrick Stewart co-headlined the show from 2013-14 at the Cort Theatre. Prior to that, Nathan Lane and John Goodman toplined a 2009 revival.

But why now for Reeves and Winter?

“We had just acted together again and we hadn’t done that in a long time and it was really fun,” Winter explained via Instagram, referring to the 2020 film “Bill & Ted Face The Music.”

“We were like ‘how can we do that again?’ but also playing different characters.”

“The films that we did together, the Bill & Ted films, the language in those films had the architecture and their rhythms,” Reeves, 60, told People. “And I think that even from early days, we approached them theatrically or even commedia dell’arte… Okay, I do something, you do something, I get the ball, you get the ball.”

If this sounds like the Gen X fever dream of your dreams, tickets are available for all 127 “Waiting for Godot” shows at the Hudson Theatre from Sept. 13 through Jan. 4, 2026.

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets for any one show was $164 before fees on Vivid Seats.

“Waiting for Godot” cast

Although you’re likely familiar with Keanu’s resume, here’s a formal introduction to each of the three announced leads.

Keanu Reeves (Estragon) has been acting since 1984, when he made his debut in the Canadian sitcom “Hangin’ In.” In the 40 years since, he’s starred in a number of huge films — “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” “The Matrix,” “John Wick,” “Speed,” “Point Break” to name just a few — fronted the ’90s alt-rock group Dogstar and authored the 12-issue graphic novel series “BRZRKR.”

Alex Winter (Vladimir) is not making his Broadway debut in “Waiting for Godot.” As a child, he appeared on the stage in “The King & I” and “Peter Pan” (alongside Sandy Duncan). In the years since his upcoming return to the theater, he portrayed Bill S. Preston Esq. in the “Bill and Ted’s” trilogy and acted in “The Lost Boys,” “Grand Piano” and “Smosh: The Movie.” However, like Reeves, he isn’t just a thespian. Winter has directed a number of feature films over the years including the ’90s comedy “Freaked” and a 2020 Frank Zappa documentary.

Michael Patrick Thornton (Lucky) easily has the most stage experience of the trio here. The actor, improviser, writer and director recently starred opposite Jessica Chastain in Jamie Lloyd’s production of “The Doll House.” Other notable roles of his include “Macbeth” (alongside Daniel Craig) and “Obliteration.” He’s also appeared on TV in “Private Practice,” “The Good Doctor” and “NCIS.”
