TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

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.

One of the weird things about this era was extremely expensive future-hardware that only adults (or rich kids) could afford marketing to the kids who all bought a Genesis because it cost $150 and TV told them it would make them cool. Axe deodorant-ass baby commercials for a $700 game console.

I don't think kids today really appreciate just how tryhard edgy video game marketing was in the 90s.

Before you fight Nizbel 2 he says "Azala's back there" and you just walk past him only for him turn around and say "No, you have to fight me first, what do you think I was flexing my muscles and looking all intimidating for" and it gets me every time.

Not exactly loving the idea of a corporation giving the public an impression of furries as sexually promiscuous honestly.

It's one thing if furries are doing it via our spaces. The context this stuff is presented in matters but this is just straight up in some mall outlet.

Between this and the Spirit Halloween masks, it's amusing but also the nightmare of furry going mainstream. 💀
