The album Music From WAITING FOR GODOT, composed and produced by two-time Drama Desk Award winners Ben and Max Ringham, will be released tomorrow at 12:01 AM ET on all DSPs.
The 13-track recording includes instrumental music from and inspired by Tony and Olivier Award winner Jamie Lloyd’s current Broadway production of Samuel Beckett’s play, now running a strictly limited engagement at the Hudson Theatre through January 4, 2026. The lead single, “Will Night Never Come,” is currently streaming.
The album accompanies Lloyd’s staging of WAITING FOR GODOT, which stars Keanu Reeves as Estragon and Alex Winter as Vladimir. They are joined by Brandon J. Dirden as Pozzo and Michael Patrick Thornton as Lucky. The role of A Boy is shared by Zaynn Arora and Eric Williams, with Jesse Aaronson and Franklin Bongjio serving as understudies.
Ben and Max Ringham note that each track title reflects a moment from rehearsals, where the musical ideas were first developed. The album is released by Wellfield Records.
The creative team includes Soutra Gilmour (set and costume design), Jon Clark (lighting design), Cheryl Thomas (hair and makeup design), Jim Carnahan CSA and Liz Fraser CSA (casting), and Johnny Milani (production stage manager). Associate designers include Conner Wilson (associate director); Grace Laubacher, Lily Tomasic, and Wilson Chin (scenic); Ricky Lurie and Jess Gersz (costumes); Jessica Creager (lighting); Christopher Cronin (sound); and Veronica Lee (stage manager). The production is led by The Jamie Lloyd Company, ATG Productions, Bad Robot Live, and Gavin Kalin Productions, with 101 Productions, Ltd. / Chris Morey as general manager.
