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.

Important PSA!

Charcoal is a natural absorbent. Unfortunately it's quite liberal when it comes to WHAT it absorbs, meaning: it absorbs ANYTHING that goes into your stomach and gut.

That includes all the active substances from ANY kind of medication you take (incl. contraceptives, vitamins et al).

Friends, Spooky season is upon us.

Remember... foods dyed black with charcoal can interfere with medications. Don't eat them if you have an Rx

Oakland's lack of quality this match is only exceeded by the El Paso camera work. good lord just stay with the high-midlfield cam for 90% of the game.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

Nothing more embarrassing to be than an ICE agent.

"Oh, you've got a big day at work? Do you have to stand around an elementary school awkwardly waiting to separate a family? And that's your job? You get paid to do that? And I'm sure you show your face. Oh, you don't? Why not? Is this shameful?"

Tylenol was always one of those American things you didn't know what it was. Like Twinkies and Pottery Barn and Ted Koppel and whatever the hell a caucus is.

Just so y’all know the science has been out for years on moms causing autism in their kids by taking Tylenol while pregnant …. And the science says nope!
You will be lied to soon about this. Please know that any claim linking Tylenol to autism was debunked years ago.

I'm sure the answer is 'because there was a PI that was a spot foul' but it amuses me how it's not 50 yards in penalties, but 47.
