Nathan Lane, John Goodman, and the Cast of Waiting for Godot

[major600]

Veeerrryyyy interesting observation by Glover that there would never have been "Seinfeld" without "Godot".

[IndianaJoker]

Aw, Nathan Lane was Estragon? Maaaaan, I always thought that he'd be better as Didi.

[JerryAtricSenior]

Does anyone know where i could see this version with the cast?

[motorizedlamb]

@ridleyfilms I think this comment would make Beckett role in his grave. The specifics of pronunciation hardly matter, it's not going to change the play's content or message, I think it's a silly thing to get hung-up on.

[IndianaJoker]

@motorizedlamb I agree, however Beckett himself even made it clear that it WAS pronounced God-o.

I was in a production of this play this year, and played Pozzo. My interpretation of the character is different from Goodman's (I played him as actually evil, not just a windbag), but I'd still love to see him do it. And Glover as Lucky? Never saw that coming, but I bet it'd be good.

[ambalakshmi]

somehow i can really see him as an amazing Estragon.... I'm quite happy. Now i just need to see this :S booo being broke. :|

[RJungBroderick]

He's eyes is bigger than before . They're shinging .

[kthankxbye]

Those interviews have got to be sooooooooooooooo boring.

[bwayguy17]

[Basssinger86]

And I can see John Goodman as Pozzo

[TABWISH]

Saw it Sat.. One of the best plays I've ever seen..

[hsatts315]

did nathan come to the stage door. im going tomorrow

[TABWISH]

don't know...enjoy..

[myjourn]

What about it makes it one of the best plays you've ever seen? i haven't seen it, just asking...

[TABWISH]

.. Im a big fan of Bill Irwin..This is a very difficult play to pull off. It's dialogue is all driven by subtext, every single word.. So moment to moment you have to be sharp and its a comedy .Genius writing and so ahead of its time..There's no bullshitting your way through it..If you read the play, its a very tough to wrap your head around it. Nathan Lane doesnt rely on his personality and tones it down..Bill is great and Goodman has some chops as well..cheers

[myjourn]

I'll have to make sure I see it and read it (I have a copy at home). I'm a big theater buff. Thanks for responding!

[TABWISH]

No problem. I love the theatre too. Reading the play will not give anything away. It will only enhance your experience and appreciate the decisions the actors/director have made to make it come together. The set designer had a pretty cool vision too.

[Veggieman87]

The beauty and genius of this show is that every single part of it is entirely open for interpretation, with no wrong answers. Also, it's wickedly funny and can really only be done by comic actors for full effect. I saw this production; Nathan Lane was marvelously over the top, Bill Irwin is the god of all clowns, John Goodman is the perfect pompous windbag (as his character is), and John Glover did a fantastic job as Lucky (500 word monologue, no punctuation. His only lines in the show).

[KelliSings]

why is john goodman in a show??

[Machetto07]

When there was this video shooting? Mr. лайен with a beard grown old seems 8 \
