KUALA LUMPUR: Keanu Reeves will make his Broadway debut next year.
AsiaOne reported yesterday that the 59-year-old actor was set to reunite with his Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure co-star Alex Winter in a new revival of Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot, which will open on the New York stage in autumn 2025.
Reeves will play the role of Estragon opposite his pal as Vladimir in the play, which first premiered in 1953 and follows two acquaintances pondering the meaning of life.
Sunset Boulevard's Jamie Lloyd will direct and produce, along with ATG Productions, Bad Robot Live and Gavin Kalin Productions.
An exact location has not yet been chosen for the production.
This will mark the fifth major staging of the show, with previous stars including the late Robin Williams, Sir Patrick Stewart, Sir Ian McKellen and Steve Martin.
