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.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

Advances of @danielmendelsohn.bsky.social’s translation of The Odyssey have arrived, and this is a gorgeous piece of book making. Cover and case design by Matt Avery of Monograph.

In bookstores everywhere April 9, or get it direct from @uchicagopress.bsky.social.

The Odyssey, new in hardcover. The jacket is on rough, uncoated stock and features an illustration of an Ancient Greek sailing ship, seen from above, in the middle of an empty sea. The whole look is very much of midcentury design. The Odyssey standing up between two whale-shaped bookends. The spine has some nice color bands on it, alternating dark and lighter shades of the ocean blue from the front cover. The endpapers, which feature a map of Odysseus’s world in ochre and white. The case, unjacketed, which features a stamped image of the boat from the front of the jacket.
