Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter just had an excellent reunion.

The actors and longtime friends, who will soon star in an upcoming revival of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, spoke to PEOPLE on the red carpet Sunday, June 8, at the 2025 Tony Awards in New York City, where they were in attendance to present one of the awards.

Reeves, 60, and Winter, 59, matched in classic black tuxedo looks. The Matrix star put a twist on his ensemble by adding a white handkerchief in the suit pocket. He also cuffed his blazer sleeves to show the white of his shirt sleeves.

Winter tells PEOPLE that he and Reeves “wanted to work together” again after their famous Bill & Ted movies, and have “known each other a very long time” — fitting for “a play about two people who have known each other a very long time. … And Keanu had this crazy, inspired idea that suddenly turned into reality, for both of us.”

As for what fans can expect, Winter adds, “I think every time the play is done, it’s different, because of who’s playing it. It’s very, very personal, and so we’re bringing ourselves to it.”

Waiting for Godot will begin preview performances at Broadway’s Hudson Theatre on Sept. 13, ahead of an official opening on Sept. 28. The limited-engagement production is currently scheduled through Jan. 4, 2026.

For Reeves’ Broadway debut, the John Wick actor will play Estragon. Winter, who appeared in Broadway’s 1977 production of The King and I and 1979’s Peter Pan, plays Vladimir in the acclaimed existential work.

PEOPLE debuted a video conversation with director Jamie Lloyd on April 14 about the upcoming production, in which the longtime pals — who first worked together on 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure — explained how they’ll naturally bring their offstage bond to their roles.

“It’s like being in a band together. We kind of know each other’s rhythms,” Winter shared in the video. “Being able to bring that into, onto a stage, that’s sort of our fundamental. That’s in our bones away.”

“The films that we did together, the Bill & Ted films, the language in those films had the architecture and their rhythms,” added Reeves. “Even from early days, we approached them theatrically or even commedia dell’arte: ‘Okay, I do something, you do something, I get the ball, you get the ball.’ “

“That’s why, in the audition, we were so vibed,” Winter recalled of himself and Reeves. “Because you didn’t get that from other actors so much.”

Reeves and Winter became close while filming Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, a sci-fi comedy that follows time-traveling friends who visit historical figures for their history presentation.

In 1991 and 2020, they reprised their roles as Ted Logan and Bill Preston for a second and third installment of the cult-classic series.

Kristin Chenoweth wants her fans to go into The Queen of Versailles with the right expectations.

Speaking with PEOPLE on the red carpet at the 2025 Tony Awards in New York City on Sunday, June 8, the Broadway veteran warned fans of Wicked — in which she originated the role of Galinda/Glinda opposite Idina Menzel’s Elphaba — that her upcoming role is “very different.”

“People think they’re gonna get Wicked — you’re not gonna get Wicked, so don’t get disappointed,” says Chenoweth, 56.

The Stephen Schwartz musical Queen of Versailles, which Chenoweth is co-producing through her production banner Diva Worldwide Entertainment, will mark the actress and singer’s return to the Broadway stage after a decade away.

An adaptation of Lauren Greenfield’s award-winning 2012 documentary of the same name, The Queen of Versailles follows socialite Jacqueline “Jackie” Siegel and her “Timeshare King” husband David Siegel’s multi-million dollar quest to build the biggest private home in America. Chenoweth plays Jackie, with F. Murray Abraham as David.

“We’ve worked on it for five years, and I need to birth this baby, you know?” Chenoweth tells PEOPLE, before reflecting on “22 years with” Wicked music and lyrics writer Schwartz, 77.

And what got her “interested” in The Queen of Versailles was “what it has to say,” despite some initial reservations she admits she had about signing on.

“When Stephen called me [and explained the premise], I was like, ‘I don’t know … ‘ ” Chenoweth tells PEOPLE. “But then we started talking and discussing and developing, and it got me excited.”

As for her Wicked days, they’re not too far removed from Chenoweth’s life now, as both she and Menzel, 54, made surprise cameo’s in last year’s Jon M. Chu-directed movie treatment.

While Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande took over the roles of Elphaba and Glinda, respectively, Menzel and Chenoweth play members of an Emerald City singing group that perform “One Short Day,” a song about the Wizard of Oz’s magical arrival to the land.

And asked whether she and Menzel will return in the films’ second part — Wicked: For Good, which hits theaters this November — Chenoweth recently told PEOPLE exclusively, “All I can say to the fans is they’ll just have to go and see.”

Chenoweth will appear in The Queen of Versailles at the St. James Theatre in New York City, with previews beginning Oct. 8 ahead of a Nov. 9 opening night.

The 2025 Tony Awards will air on CBS and Paramount+ on Sunday, June 8, at 8 p.m. ET.

Daniel Radcliffe is giving his old schoolmate Tom Felton a hand. 

Felton, 37, told PEOPLE on the red carpet at the 2025 Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday, June 8, that he’s gotten some magical support ahead of his upcoming Broadway debut in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

“My old school chum, Potter, [Daniel] Radcliffe, has done quite a bit of Broadway, so he’s holding my hand and certainly helping me through all the things that are hard to learn,” the actor says. “But from what I gather, it’s an amazing community of people. The fans are really, really gracious and excited. So I’m just thrilled to be part of it.”

Radcliffe, 35, who portrayed the titular character in all eight installments of the original Harry Potter film series from 2001 to 2011, made his Broadway debut in the 2008 revival of Equus. He previously played the role on London’s West End. 

The actor went on to star in 2011’s revival of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, 2014’s The Cripple of Inishmaan and 2018’s The Lifespan of a Fact. 

Most recently, Radcliffe starred in the 2023 revival of Merrily We Roll Along alongside Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez, for which he won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical.

Felton, meanwhile, had his breakthrough role as Draco Malfoy in the original film series. He will reprise his role this fall in the Broadway show that takes place 19 years after the closing of the seventh book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. 

He will appear as Draco at the Lyric Theatre in New York City starting Nov. 11 for 19 weeks.

Felton also tells PEOPLE on the red carpet that he’s a “huge fan of the show,” noting that he’s seen it “a dozen times, nearly in England and a few times now on Broadway.”

“I just never saw myself having blonde hair again and reprising that role,” he admits. “Now as a dad, Draco has a son. So yes, it is an old character, but in a very new set of circumstances. I’m excited to explore it.”

Felton announced the role on June 5 on the Today show. His casting marks the first time an actor from the original movies has starred in the play.

Felton hit the red carpet at the 78th Annual Tony Awards in a classic black suit with a white buttoned shirt. He accessorized with a black tie and wore his hair slicked back. 

The ceremony will be hosted by stage and screen star Cynthia Erivo. The first-time host will be joined by a starry list of presenters including Kristin Chenoweth, Ariana DeBose, Danielle Brooks, Bryan Cranston, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Lea Salonga and Jean Smart.
