*bernie voice* i am no longer waiting for Godot

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.

I'm assuming at this point the Savannah Bananas have a bigger payroll

Aaron Gleeman @aarongleeman.bsky.social · 13h

It hasn't been obvious because the raw dollar amounts are so much higher now, but the Twins' payrolls the past two seasons have been equal to Metrodome-era spending relative to MLB as a whole.

And now the worry is the Pohlads' spending will go even lower: www.nytimes.com/athletic/668...

State of the Twins’ payroll: What salaries are on the 2026 books? More cuts coming?

Thanks to clean 2026 books, the Twins' front office could have ample offseason spending room if the Pohlads don't slash payroll again.

I'm a big fan of the Beatles, and of Paul's solo work! Which I feel like is an increasingly unpopular stance, lol. But mainly not for the lyrics

Nick I love you but PAUL MCCARTNEY? This is about *lyrics*. He's written some of the greatest melodies of the 20th century but he's an atrocious lyricist.

It goes:
-Dylan
-Darnielle
