 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p>You guys, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005286/">Haley Joel Osment</a> is 20 years old! 20! We'll always see him as the creepy kid who saw dead people in <em>The Sixth Sense</em>. God, we're old. Anyway, Mr. Osment is all grown up and making his Broadway debut in the revival of David Mamet's <em>American Buffalo</em>, <a href="http://www.broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=31597">according to BroadwayWorld</a>. At least he still has those rosey baby-faced cheeks! He joins John Lequizamo and Cedric the Entertainer was junk shop workers who scheme to steal a rich man's coin collection. The show opens Nov. 17 at the Belasco Theatre.</p>]]></description>

 <title>Mamet&#039;s American Buffalo Roams to New Home</title>
 <link>http://www.observer.com/2008/arts-culture/mamets-american-buffalo-roams-new-home</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p><a href="/2008/arts-culture/john-leguizamo-and-cedric-entertainer-revive-mamet-oct-31">We told you</a> about the revival of David Mamet's <em>American Buffalo</em> co-starring John Leguizamo and Cedric the Entertainer, and now we can report about its new home: the Belasco Theatre. <em>American Buffalo</em> takes over the stage from another Mamet play, <em>Speed-the-Plow</em>. That Jeremy Piven-starring production will move to the Barrymore Theater where <em>Godspell</em> was supposed to be performed. The <em>Godspell </em>production <a href="http://www.playbill.com/news/article/120416.html">was postponed</a> because of a financial fallout from an investor. </p>
<p>Directed by Robert Falls, previews of <em>American Buffalo</em> will begin Oct. 31 at the Belasco with an official opening scheduled for Nov. 17.   Tickets will go on sale Sept. 4 through Telecharge by calling (212) 239-6200 or by visiting <a href="http://www.telecharge.com" title="www.telecharge.com">www.telecharge.com</a>.</p>]]></description>

 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p>This Halloween, Mamet is returning to Broadway (again) with a revival of <em>American Buffalo</em>. Directed by Robert Falls, previews will begin Oct. 31 with a premiere set for Nov. 17. Latin <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VszC52FLgqM">"Sexaholic"</a> John Leguizamo and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0147825/">"Original King of Comedy"</a> Cedric the Entertainer will lead the cast about "the bungled heist of an old nickel by three lowlifes based in a Chicago pawnshop." According to press notes, the play suggests how the language and practice of American business and power politics are insidious forces in our society.</p>

 <link>http://www.observer.com/2008/mamets-buffalo-lerners-brigadoon-rumble-broadway</link>
 <description><![CDATA[<!--paging_filter--><p>It's the battle of the Broadway revivals! David Mamet's <em>American Buffalo</em> and the Lerner and Loewe musical <em>Brigadoon</em> will both open during 2009. <em>Buffalo </em>producers are courting <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuG1ZrZVrU4">Sexoholic and Summer of Sam star </a>John Leguizamo, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/08/theater/08arts-RETURNOFTHEB_BRF.html?_r=1&amp;ex=1365393600&amp;en=2ac5c5ff2a5eba10&amp;ei=5088&amp;partner=rssnyt&amp;emc=rss&amp;oref=slogin">according to the New York Times</a>. No casting is set for <em>Brigadoon</em>, the hit Broadway show about two Americans wandering into a Scottish village that comes alive every 100 years, <a href="http://www.broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=26712">according to Playbill</a>. But the play, written by the team who brought us scores for <em>My Fair Lady</em>, <em>Gigi</em> and <em>Camelot</em>, will be directed by Tony winner Rob Ashford and will include a new book by another Tony winner, John Guare. We're putting the 1954 movie version of <em>Brigadoon</em>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvjyShR5QRg">starring the &quot;incomparable&quot; Gene Kelly and &quot;sensational&quot; Cyd Charisse</a> belting out those classics &quot;Almost Like Being In Love,&quot; &quot;There But For You Go I&quot; and &quot;Come to Me, Bend to Me,&quot; into our Netflix queue right now. </p>]]></description>
