How could you perpetrate this on the great American public?"  Walter Winchell claimed he wouldn’t soil his mouth reporting on the play. In Miami, more than half of the audience left  before the play was over.

Schneider had come to playwright Samuel Beckett’s Paris apartment bursting with pre-production curiosities, especially regarding the identity of the title character. To Schneider’s query, "Who is Godot?" the laconic playwright famously retorted, "If I knew, I would have said so in the play." Audiences and critics similarly panned the Miami production.
