Have you seen what John Leguizamo's been up to lately?

John Legiuzamo is appearing in a Broadway revival of American Buffalo with the stars Cedric the Entertainer and Haley Joel Osmet. The director is the phenomenal Robert Falls.

Previews for the show begin Oct. 31. But those who might want to take a sneak peek backstage are being invited to visit the cast, crew, and creative team through the web series, American Buffalo: Backstage”.  

The online portals promises "a rare view of what really happens backstage, in rehearsal, and outside of rehearsal on a major production," says a prepared statement. On view every day are footage shot by the cast, interviews with cast, producers, and members of the production’s creative team."

Viewers may access the “American Buffalo: Backstage” series through the production’s official YouTube Channel. The videos will also be featured on American Buffalo’s MySpace page, and on its Facebook group. American Buffalo’s YouTube channel, MySpace profile and Facebook group are all accessible from the show’s official websitee.

David Mamet’s American Buffalo marks the Broadway debuts of Cedric the Entertainer and Haley Joel Osment. But for Leguizamo, one of the stage's most important actors. Using his signature rapid-style dialogue, Mamet regales us with a heist comedy about three small-time crooks conspiring to steal a rare coin from a neighborhood collector. 

American Buffalo begins previews at Broadway’s Belasco Theatre on Friday, October 31, and opens on Monday, November 17.
