Waiting for Godot - WOW.

Waiting for Godot was our favorite show of the trip.  Watching Patrick Stewart and Ian McClellan perform is magical.  McClellan is exceptional and Stewart close behind.  Add Billy Crudup and Shuler Hensley (who we loved in The Whale) and you have an unforgetable cast.  

The show is softer and funnier than I remember from one earlier production of Godot, and the comedic timing is perfect.  Hensley is excellent and Billy Crudup give one of the best soliloquies I can remember - his only speaking part.

The audience loved the show.  How could you not?

With so many earlier pairings of great actors, it is hard to say that this is the best yet and I did not see those earlier versions, but I can't imagine a better production.

So glad we saw this show (It helped to be in the third row).
