Bill Irwin is rumored to star, since he will participate in the Seattle pre-Bway staging

Not my favorite play in the world. But pretty good potential if Irwin stays on-board. He's hilarious as Lucky (as proven before), but I imagine he's billed as Vladimir or Estragon (anyone know?) this time around. Updated On: 7/11/08 at 01:28 PM

I really really really hope this comes to NYC. I'll be counting the minutes.

I'm excited for this! I love the production he did back in the 80's with Steve Martin and Robin Williams. I'm assuming this time he'll play Vladamir or Estragon instead of Lucky.

For a moment I freaked out and thought it was 1988 again! I'm very happy that Bill Irwin has really proved himself as an actor in the last decade, capable of headlining a play.

According to the casting notice on Equity's website, the role of Vladimir is already cast; I'm assuming that's Bill. I too am looking forward to this one!
