"Waiting For Godomino's" is nothing like you'd expect. And yet... exactly what you'd expect? I mean, U2 waiting for pizza delivery in a Samuel Beckett nightmare? It's nothing short of genius. I was howling from start to finish. Richard Lucas has created a bizarre new genre of post-modern-absurdism. Like a snake eating its own tale, the comedy constantly collapses on itself in your mind, "Inception"-style, which only makes it funnier. And yet, there is a poignant message about celebrity, wealth, and the purpose of art at the core of the show? Hats off to Mr. Lucas and the gang. I think Beckett would be proud. Bono not so much. :P...

The writing was such a wonderful surprise, and a hilarious sendup of a play that's just a little too familiar to us theatre kids. Who could know how well U2 would fit into a Beckett piece? It was funny, sad, and still ended in a way where you wanted to stand up and say: fuck you, Beckett.
Bravo to the actors for such an engaging performance. Bravo to the whole team involved. This show deserves an extension: if it gets it, Go!...

You don't have to know too much about any of the various elements this show draws from to enjoy it so don't get spooked.
Different from everything else I've seen this year.
And I don't want to say much else. Go. It's great.
Highly recommended. ...

You don't have to be up on either "Waiting for Godot" or U2 to get that this is basically a silly spoof mash-up of both Theatre of the Absurd and our celebrity obsessed culture. Good, clean fun that still could use some more serious writing - ANY silly gets wearying without a story....

This production was so much fun. It absolutely works if you haven't read or seen Godot, but there's another layer of comedy if you have. ...
