Previews begin September 13, 2025, with opening night set for September 28, 2025. This limited run of Waiting for Godot is scheduled to run through January 4, 2026.
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter are only two of many celebrity actors to perform on Broadway this year. But this revival of Waiting for Godot is, without a doubt, going to be one of the most talked about shows to hit New York City in 2025.
Keep reading to learn the essentials about this must-see production (runtime, dates, must-know creative facts). Plus, we’ve written a no-nonsense, step-by-step guide on how to score cheaper seats using TickPick’s transparent pricing, read on.
This new production of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot has a running time of about 2 hours 15 minutes. This show will include one short, 15 minute intermission.
Cast & Creative Team (what makes this production buzzworthy)
Keanu Reeves (Estragon) and Alex Winter (Vladimir) reunite onstage in what will be Reeves’ Broadway debut and Winter’s return to the boards after decades. This reunion and real-life chemistry are a big part of the production’s headline appeal.
The revival of Waiting for Godot is directed by Jamie Lloyd and will feature striking designs by Soutra Gilmour (scenic/costume) and Jon Clark (lighting). Ben & Max Ringham will handle sound. The company also includes Brandon J. Dirden (Pozzo) and Michael Patrick Thornton (Lucky). With this cast and creative team, Waiting for Godot promises a visually bold, celebrity actor-centered production.
Waiting for Godot lottery and rush: cheap ticket options off the resale market
Producers have set aside multiple ways to buy lower-priced seats at face value. The production of Waiting for Godot has announced a $49 digital rush/lottery through Lucky Seat and TodayTix. Check this first if you’re flexible and willing to try for same-day deals.
But if you’re planning ahead or need guaranteed seats, resale marketplaces like TickPick are where you’ll compare and (often) save versus. Especially because TickPick shows the full price up front.
How to find cheap Waiting for Godot tickets on TickPick
Waiting for Godot is one of the most anticipated shows of the year. Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter, co-stars of the 80’s cult classic film Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, are reuniting as Beckett characters Estragon and Vladimir. Prices will reflect the very high demand, but good deals on theater tickets can still be found. Keep reading to learn how.
A Step-by-step Guide:
Search the event page first. Type “Waiting for Godot Hudson Theatre” into TickPick and open the event listing. (TickPick aggregates resale listings for every performance night.)
Sort by “Cheapest” and check the “get-in” price. TickPick’s sort and seat preview tools let you see the lowest available price and where those seats are located. Remember: no checkout surprises because fees are built into the shown price.
Be flexible on date/time (matinees = cheaper). Midweek and matinee performances often list lower resale fares. Fans ought to compare several dates before committing. (Tip: remember to compare seats across levels. Upper-balcony views can be far cheaper.)
Use Price Freeze if you need time. Found a deal but want to confirm travel plans? Use TickPick’s Price Freeze to lock it for a short period so the market doesn’t jump while you decide.
Monitor and track the event. Add the show to your TickPick “Tracked Events” or refresh listings regularly. Sellers adjust prices and last-minute drops happen all the time. TickPick will also show new listings as they appear.
Use the BestPrice Guarantee if you find a cheaper comparable listing. If you discover a lower like-for-like offer elsewhere, file a match request with TickPick per their policy.
Cross-check primary options (lottery/rush) before buying resale. If you’re local or flexible, try the $49 digital rush/lottery on the day of the performance as it can be the cheapest route to see high-profile casts. But if this fails, you can fall back on TickPick for a guaranteed seat.
Final tips & what to expect
Looking for a particular showing of Waiting for Godot? We suggest buying early if you want a guaranteed seat for a specific night (holiday, weekend, opening-weekend) as high demand pushes prices as the date nears.
If you’re game for a gamble: try the $49 rush/lottery or set alarms for morning rush releases on TodayTix/LuckySeat.
If you prefer certainty and no surprises at checkout, TickPick’s transparent pricing and guarantees make it a smart resale option. Start on the Waiting for Godot event page to see what we’re talking about.
