On the one hand, this is like the perfect reaction to Waiting for Godot. This person took the themes and material and internalized them so profoundly that they didn't even know that they did it. On the other, please say sike.

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.

Awesome thread! Fast sentence here: the distinction might be similar to method acting versus "whatever actors call the process that isn't method acting." Which do audiences trust? If the portrayal is "good" do audiences care? Nope, unless they method drowned puppies, or method hurt themselves.

Sometimes in life, you just need a hug. No words, no advice, just a hug to make you feel better.

Here’s a virtual hug from me to you ❤️

The piano rooms adjacent to the ceramics lab often provide us with a *wide* range of literature. Just now it was 'tis a gift to be simple' which as it happens might be my Theme Song.
