Overview

• The production opened September 28 at the Hudson Theatre, directed by Jamie Lloyd with Soutra Gilmour’s striking tunnel-like set, Jon Clark’s lighting, and Ben and Max Ringham’s sound design.
• Reeves plays Estragon and Winter plays Vladimir, joined by Brandon J. Dirden as Pozzo and Michael Patrick Thornton as Lucky, with Zaynn Arora and Eric Williams alternating as the Boy.
• Critics widely single out Thornton’s Lucky for his incisive take on the character and a riveting delivery of the role’s signature monologue.
• Reeves makes his Broadway debut as Winter returns to the stage after decades, a pairing many reviews say yields natural chemistry that anchors the evening.
• Several reviews note the production’s pop-culture winks, including a brief Bill & Ted–style air-guitar bit that drew an enthusiastic audience response.
