Whenever Godot's not on stage, all the other characters should be singing, "Where's Godot?"

One Star Review of Waiting for Godot on Broadway
I recently attended Waiting for Godot on Broadway and spent over $1,400 for two Row C seats (103 and 104). I'm a longtime admirer of Broadway productions and even hold a season pass for Shea's Performing Arts Theatre, so I came in with genuine enthusiasm and high expectations. Unfortunately, this show was unlike anything ! have ever experienced —and not in a good way.
What I encountered was not the artistry, music, or emotional storytelling I usually associate with Broadway, but instead what felt like an endless cycle of nonsensical conversation between characters who seemed trapped in their own madness. I tried-truly tried-to find meaning, symbolism, or even a thread of emotional resonance. I stayed through the first half hoping the second would offer clarity. But by intermission, it was clear: this was a waste of both time and money.
Keanu Reeves is an actor I respect greatly, but I cannot fathom why he would agree to participate in such a disjointed, inaccessible production. His talent was lost in a performance that defied reason rather than provoked insight.
To anyone considering attending: unless you are drawn to highly abstract, nearly incomprehensible theater, I strongly caution you against this show. For the average, educated, thoughtful theatergoer, it is far more frustrating than fulfilling. In my opinion, this was the single most disappointing Broadway experience I've ever had - an unfortunate waste of money and, more importantly, of time.

Looks like the Monkey’s out of the bag. I’m delighted to finally reveal that this December I’ll be taking a trip to the House of Ideas and teaming up with the incredibly talented @marsisanartist.bsky.social for an all-new Hit-Monkey story in Marvel: Black, White & Blood and Guts #3!

Very saddened to hear of Manchán Magan's death from prostate cancer. He always struck me as having a deep connection with being Irish, a mythological Irish HighKing, displaced in time. A gentle man and a scholar. A noble man. RIP.

And if you can get the Irish version .... you're in for a treat

By the time the Luas got to Dawson, no problem getting a seat! Now at O'Connell St, lots of empty seats. Maybe it's a "crossing the Liffey" thing? 😂

First time on a morning rush hour Luas for years. Packed. So why oh why do people insist on wearing their bags on their back? Dumb, selfish, inconsiderate or unaware? And move down the carriage, loads of room there rather than crushed at the door.

I swear nobody cares about adding money to the pot at this stage, it's all glaring side eyes and the lads can't believe the faithful implosion. #TraitorsIRL

Pity the person having to put together a "Will's best bits" compilation. Then again, he also doesn't have a "worst bits" unlike some. #TraitorsIRL

I'd say Oyin has been murdered next but I'd also say Nick is plotting to get rid of Ben. I'm not sure if Ben realizes or sees it coming. Can't wait!

Tactically, they should have murdered Will, Mr. Invisible.

Gonna be difficult for the faithfuls (the girls) to regroup.

I think after tonight, likely Oyin murdered, there's no more murders, the format changes and it's banishment all the way to the end.
brianconnell.bsky.social
Or maybe recruit Faye? #TraitorsIRL
brianconnell.bsky.social
Nick isn't going to recruit Ben, he's going to recruit a "patsy" he thinks he can control. Oyin should be murdered next, she's just TOO good, and maybe recruit Vanessa cos she already has some heat on her. #traitorsIRL

There is nothing in the Constitution that explicitly states that the president must be a living person. So it's hard to understand why the Democrat Party thinks anyone other than Trump will be president from here on out.

Farage's tactic as an MEP was to show up just to make an anti-EU tirade and then clip it for YouTube. Nice to see the tactic used the other way around.

"The restaurant’s table policy is a watered-down take on “Ichigensan okotowari,” or “no first-time customers without introduction,” . . . patronized almost entirely by regulars, who may be permitted to bring a guest".

Bliss. Doing away with critics and influencers
