THE CAST & CREW OF “WAITING FOR GODOT”
AT THE RED BUCKET FOLLIES WITH PRIZES FOR “BEST PERFORMANCE” &
“TOP FUNDRAISING BROADWAY PLAY” WITH AN ASTONISHING TOTAL OF $430,790 RAISED FOR BROADWAY CARES

New York, NY (December 12, 2025) – There are only 27 performances left to see Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter in Tony Award^® and multiple Olivier Award^®-winning director/producer Jamie Lloyd’s critically acclaimed, smash hit Broadway production of Samuel Beckett’s masterpiece Waiting For Godot. The revival is playing a strictly limited engagement at the Hudson Theatre (141 West 44^th Street) through Sunday, January 4, 2026 only.

Additionally, on Wednesday at Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS’ Red Bucket Follies, the cast and crew of Waiting For Godot were honored with prizes for the “Top Fundraising Broadway Play” by raising an astonishing $430,790 for the charity as well as “Best Red Bucket Follies Performance” in a number that featured Zaynn Arora and Eric Williams, who share the role of ‘A Boy,’ and was written by Arora, Williams, and Bridget Mills, the show’s child guardian

Waiting For Godot has been heralded by critics with the New York Times saying, “Jamie Lloyd’s pristinely chic production breaks rules right from the start.” USA Today said, “Keanu Reeves is irresistible, and Alex Winter is revelatory” and The Guardian said, “their comedic chemistry is unmatched.” The New Yorker called Brandon J. Dirden “the finest ‘Pozzo’ I’ve ever seen,” and Michael Patrick Thornton as ‘Lucky’ is heralded as “magnificent” by Variety.

Completing the cast of Waiting For Godot is Arora and Williams who share the role of ‘A Boy’ and understudies Jesse Aaronson and Franklin Bongjio.

In recent weeks, the production welcomed over 500 New York City public school students and educators to attend the new production and have a post-show conversation with Lloyd and the cast thanks to a partnership with New York City’s Department of Education. The ticket recipients represented each of the City’s five boroughs, and for many of the young people, it was their first time seeing a show in a Broadway theater.

Finally, the production recouped its initial investment in just eight weeks (as of the week ending Sunday, November 9), making it the first production of the 2025-2026 season to accomplish this rare feat.

The design team for Waiting For Godot features frequent Jamie Lloyd collaborators: Evening Standard Award winner and Tony Award nominee Soutra Gilmour (set and costume design), two-time Tony Award winner Jon Clark (lighting design), multiple Olivier and Tony Award nominees Ben and Max Ringham (sound design), Cheryl Thomas (hair and makeup design), Jim Carnahan CSA & Liz Fraser CSA (casting director), and Johnny Milani (production stage manager). 101 Productions, Ltd. / Chris Morey serve as general manager.

The creative team also includes Conner Wilson (associate director); Grace Laubacher, Lily Tomasic, & Wilson Chin (associate scenic design); Ricky Lurie & Jess Gersz (co-associate costume design), Jessica Creager (associate lighting design), Christopher Cronin (associate sound design), and Veronica Lee (stage manager).

Beckett’s masterpiece, Waiting For Godot, is acknowledged as one of the greatest plays of the 20^th century. Originally premiering in 1953 in French with a subsequent English-language production premiering in 1955 in London, it has become a cultural touchstone having been translated into dozens of languages and has inspired artists in the worlds of film, television, dance, opera, visual arts, fashion, and even video games. London’s National Theatre surveyed over 800 leaders of the theater world and Waiting For Godot topped the list as the most significant play of the last 100 years. In 2009, Ben Brantley, writing for the New York Times, said of Godot, “this greatest of 20^th century plays, is also entertainment of a high order.”

Music From Waiting For Godot, a full-length album composed and produced by Ben and Max Ringham featuring 13-tracks of original instrumental music from and inspired by the production was  released last week. The album is available to stream on all DSPs. To stream the album, please visit www.benandmax.co.uk/godot.

Waiting for Godot is produced by The Jamie Lloyd Company, ATG Productions, Bad Robot Live, and Gavin Kalin Productions.
