Broadway Bridge and Tunnel Test

The Broadway Bridge and Tunnel Test is our personal and highly opinionated Commuter's Guide to New York theater and cultural events, with an emphasis on Broadway and Off-Broadway theatrical productions. The test is simple: is an event worth the always expensive, time consuming, and too often horrendous struggle to commute to New York City from New Jersey, Long Island, Upstate New York or Connecticut? Only truly great or near-great performances and productions may meet this stiff challenge!

Waiting For Godot, a play by Samuel Beckett at Studio 54, presented by Roundabout Theatre Co. Starring Nathan Lane, Bill Irwin, John Goodman and John Glover. Directed by Anthony Page. With four superb actors at the top of their game, a terrific set and masterful direction, the venerable absurdist classic is given a near ideal performance at Studio 54. John Glover, a solid actor, gives the performance of his life as Lucky; John Goodman reveals unexpected resources as the bellowing Pozzo; Bill Erwin gives an acting clinic in movement and pathos as Vladimir; and Nathan Lane at last finds a role in a non musical that showcases his mighty talent.
This is a must. It's still in previews. Book now. Broadway Bridge and Tunnel Test grade A
