“Waiting for Go-Whoa”.


And I’ll pay anything to see Keanu on stage.

And why not have Alex Winter join him. Then it would be Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure meeting Samuel Beckett. Oh, well, maybe that's such a good idea!

When I saw Ethan Hawke as Hamlet in 2013 all I could think was, "Well, it could be worse...it could be Keanu Reeves."

Edit: Ethan Hawke played MacBeth in 2013, not Hamlet

If Godot won't show up for a guy who could jump over a missing stretch of highway while keeping a bus above 50 mph, then he's officially never coming.

Will it be set in Byudapissed?

And he's famously known as one of the nicest guys in Hollywood, who could probably get any one of his more accomplished stage actor friends to do it with him. If Broadway is on his bucket list, I'm all for it.

I laughed way louder than I should have.

If Keanu came to Broadway it would sell on the level of Hugh Jackman or Daniel Craig. It would be a major event. But let’s see if this thing actually happens.

Keanu played Hamlet in 1995 and the reviews weren't all that bad.

Yeah I like Waiting For Godot, but at this point in U.S. theatre history, I think it's best left mostly to university productions and academic study.

Also, if it's to be done as a star vehicle, it needs TWO stars. Would Keanu be playing both leads Jekyll & Hyde style, flipping his long hair back and forth?

Well, you are in for a surprise. Keanu Reeves actually did play Hamlet in Winnipeg 20ish years ago. I was in Winnipeg at a training course and saw that he was going to be appearing in it. Skeptically, I purchased a ticket for much more than I would have, but I had a healthy per diem and said what the hell.

He was actually very good. I am not a Shakespeare afficionado -- so I can't compare him to a lot of Hamlets, but he really came across very well. Believe it or not.

I doubt that they’re pulling this out of no where…would be really weird…also Justin Timberlake did back out of doing the music man…which they reported…I have a very good source that he saw the show several times and was seriously considering doing it…that’s someone I hope will be on Broadway one day!

Okay, now I want to see Cher do this instead of Keanu.
