Our boy, Cedric the Entertainer, will be showcasing his thespian talents on Broadway in the new play called American Buffalo. The synopsis of the play is:

David Mamet’s masterpiece, American Buffalo, directed by two-time Tony Award® winner Robert Falls (Death of a Salesman, Long Day’s Journey into Night), is the story of three desperate men, one rare coin, and a plan to rip it off. Volatile Teach (John Leguizamo – Sexaholix: A Love Story; Freaks; Summer of Sam) schemes and spars with street-savvy junk-shop owner Donny (Cedric the Entertainer – Be Cool; Barbershop – making his Broadway debut) eventually enlisting Bobby (Haley Joel Osment—The Sixth Sense – also making his Broadway debut), a slow-witted, young delinquent, to carry out their robbery. A comedic, banter-fueled heist and a heartbreaking portrait of small-time criminals, American Buffalo‘s all-star cast is powered by David Mamet’s brilliant, rapid-fire dialogue.

If you are in the New York area previews of the play will begin on October 31, 2008. The play will be shown at the Belasco Theatre ,111 West 44th Street (Between Broadway and 6th Avenue).
