Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter had Bill & Ted fans buzzing as they reunited on the red carpet at the 78th Annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall on Sunday.
The John Wick star, 60, and his longtime friend and co-star, 59, looked thrilled to be back together decades after their breakout roles in the cult 1989 comedy Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
Dressed in classic black tuxedos, the actors looked worlds away from the laid-back, time-traveling teen slackers who once rounded up historical figures for a high school history project.
The pair lit up the star-studded event ahead of their highly anticipated Broadway debut in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot.
But it wasn’t just the reunion that had fans in a frenzy—it was the duo’s shockingly youthful appearance, with the iconic pair looking almost ageless nearly 40 years after they first shared the screen.

The pair’s healthy glow comes as they are preparing for the latest adaptation of Samuel Beckett’s existential classic Waiting for Godot.
Reeves – who is known as the nicest guy in Hollywood – makes his Broadway debut as Estragon and Winter will be Vladimir in the play which will run in 2025 in an as-yet- to-be-disclosed theater on the Great White Way.
‘We’re incredibly excited to be on stage together and work with the great Jamie Lloyd in one of our favorite plays,’ Reeves, 59, and Winter, 59, said in a joint statement.
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure was a surprise box office hit, grossing over $40 million on a modest $10 million budget.
Its success led to a 1991 sequel, Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, which took the duo on a bizarre ride through heaven, hell, and the afterlife, earning a devoted cult following.
Nearly three decades later, Reeves and Winter reprised their roles in Bill & Ted Face the Music (2020).
The 78th Annual Tony Awards, the most prestigious ceremony honoring theatre, is showing off the best of Broadway and beyond tonight.
The show is being held on the hallowed stage of Radio City Music Hall and it is hosted by three-time Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo.

The three-hour show, which starts at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT, can be watched live on CBS or streamed on Paramount+ with Showtime. Users with the Paramount+ Essential subscription will have the option to begin watching the show on the following day.
This year features major star power in the lead actor and actress categories.
George Clooney is competing for his massively successful play Good Night, And Good Luck — an adaptation of the film of the same name that he directed, co-wrote and costarred in — for the lead actor in a play category, while acting legend Mia Farrow is competing against Succession star Sarah Snook and Stranger Things star Sadie Sink in the lead actress in a play category.
Darren Criss and Jonathan Groff are adding some star power to the lead actor in a musical category, while Megan Hilty, Nicole Scherzinger and Broadway legend Audra McDonald are some of the biggest names in the lead actress in a musical category.
Bob Odenkirk is best known for his film and television work, including his acclaimed run on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, but he’s now nominated in the Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play category for his turn in the revival of David Mamet’s iconic drama of desperation, Glengarry Glen Ross.
Presenters this year include Charli D’Amelio, Michelle Williams, Hacks’ Jean Smart, LaTanya Richardson Jackson and Lea Salonga, all of whom are currently appearing on Broadway.
The stage icon Kristin Chenoweth will also be presenting, while Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter will have a Bill and Ted reunion on stage ahead of their upcoming production of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting For Godot. Glee star Lea Michele will also be joined on stage by Aaron Tveit.
Several former Tony winners will be helping to announce awards, including Oprah Winfrey, Bryan Cranston, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Sarah Paulson, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Kelli O’Hara and Rachel Bay Jones.

And the other presenters aren’t exactly slouches, as several of them have Oscars and Grammy Awards to their names. They include Ben Stiller, Samuel L. Jackson, Katie Holmes, Jesse Eisenberg, Allison Janney, Ariana DeBose, Adam Lambert, Carrie Preston, Danielle Brooks and Sara Bareilles.
Going into the 2025 ceremony, three musicals are leading the pack with 10 nominations each: Buena Vista Social Club, Death Becomes Her and Maybe Happy.
Buena Vista Social Club is inspired by the beloved Cuban ensemble of the same name, which recorded a hit eponymous album in 1997 and was documented in Wim Wenders’ acclaimed documentary (also of the same name) in 1999.
Death Becomes Her is based on the Robert Zemeckis fantastical black comedy from 1992, which starred Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn and Bruce Willis.
Unlike those musicals, which are adapted from existing music and films, Maybe Happy is a science fiction–romance that originated in South Korea. It follows two android helper-bots who develop feelings for each other, despite the fact that their short life spans threaten any future plans.
Dead Outlaw, John Proctor Is The Villain, Sunset Blvd. and The Hills Of California are all tied for seven Tony nominations, while Floyd Collins, Justin In Time, Purpose and The Picture Of Dorian Gray are tied for six.
Dead Outlaw and Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical are also competing in the Best Musical category, while English, The Hills Of California, John Proctor Is The Villain, Oh, Mary! and Purpose are vying for Best Play.
Purpose and English have already been honored with Pulitzer Prizes.

This year’s nominated revivals include Eureka Day, Romeo + Juliet, Thornton Wilder’s Our Town and David Henry Hwang’s Yellow Face in the play category, while Floyd Collins, Gypsy, Pirates! The Penzanze Musical and Sunset Blvd. fill out the Best Revival of a Musical category.
The performances this year will highlight all of the new and revived musical nominees, as well as Just In Time and Real Women Have Curves, which weren’t nominated in best musical or revival but did receive other major nominations.
The 2025 Tonys will look to the past as well with a tribute to Hamilton for its 10th anniversary as the original cast reunites for a performance.

Erivo, 38, was better known for her work in the theatre before expanding into a successful film and television career.
The Wicked Star — who recently stirred up controversy when she was announced as the star of a production of Jesus Christ Superstar being held at the Hollywood Bowl in August — is already three-quarters of the way toward completing the rare and coveted EGOT after winning an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony.
Along the way, she also received nominations for four Golden Globe Awards, two British Academy Film Awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards.
She previously starred on Broadway in the popular adaptation of The Color Purple, which led to her performing its song I’m Here at the 2016 Tonys.
