Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter in a revival of Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot” (Andy Henderson | DKC O&M)Let’s go back in time — to 1989 — when movie-goers first met the dopey but adorable time-traveling headbangers in “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.”The film put actors Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter on the map — and began a friendship. On September 13, Reeves and Winter began preview performances at New York’s Hudson Theater. Winter has some Broadway experience under his belt, but for Reeves, this is his first time appearing on The Great White Way. “Having experienced a lot of highs and lows and loss, the play is a lot more personal to me now,” he said. The whole joke of ‘Waiting for Godot’ is this constant distraction, distraction, distraction from the immediate present.”Waiting for Godot is scheduled to run through Jan. 4, 2026.
