Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, who played a pair of extraordinary slackers in three “Bill & Ted” films, are reuniting on Broadway for a revival of the brainy, existential classic “Waiting for Godot.”
The play is planned for fall 2025 under the direction of Jamie Lloyd, a four-time Tony nominee set to direct a revival later this year of “Sunset Boulevard.”
Samuel Beckett’s pioneering play centers on two tramps, Estragon and Vladimir, who are awaiting the arrival of the mysterious title character, if he ever shows up. It is filled with vaudevillian high jinks that mask increasingly agitated desperation.
Reeves will play Estragon, and Winter will play Vladimir.
The play was first performed on Broadway in 1956 and has been revived three times since, most recently in 2013 with Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart.
After “Bill & Ted,” Reeves would go on to star in the “Matrix” and “John Wick” franchises. He will be making his Broadway debut with “Godot.” Winter has appeared on Broadway twice before — in the 1970s in musical revivals of “The King and I” and “Peter Pan.”
Flavor Flav helps Olympian with rent: Hip-hop artist Flavor Flav and entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian have decided to help discus thrower Veronica Fraley.
Soon after Fraley posted on the social media platform X that she was in need of financial assistance, Flav responded: “I gotchu.”
Right on top that, Ohanian, the co-founder of Reddit and husband of tennis star Serena Williams, wrote: “Got you!” He followed through, too, by posting a picture of paying $7,760.00 and writing, “ ’Murica.”
Fraley also started a GoFundMe page that has raised $12,041 of her $20,000 goal. She appreciated the gesture of Flav and Ohanian and wrote: “THANKYOU & @FlavorFlav SO MUCH. This makes every difference in the WORLD & I hope to represent team USA well this week.”
Flav said he will be rooting for her and added “LETZ GO,!!!”
Cardi B files for divorce: Cardi B has filed for divorce from her husband, rapper Offset. A representative for Cardi B confirmed the news, writing, “This is not based on any one particular incident, it has been a long time coming and is amicable.”
On Instagram, Cardi B did not directly comment on the news of her divorce, but posted a photo of her on a rooftop, holding her belly to reveal a baby bump.
“With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power,” she wrote in the caption. “It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”
