Theater Haley Joel Osment's Comeback

"...So if I talk three people into coming to see the show, and each of them talks three people into coming to see the show and each of those people talk three people into coming to see the show, we'll be the toast of New York by Hanukkah!"
Dead after less than a week in a New York Theater. American Buffalo starring Osment, Cedric the Entertainer, and John Leguizamo, which opened on Monday, will close on Sunday unless there's a significant uptick in interest. Will there be a Christmas miracle for Young Master Country Bear Jamboree?

Hugh Jackman may have a disconcertingly small beardless head, but current day Haley Joel Osment is just all-around terrifying. He's like a mix between Dawson and those lego guys.

Did none of these Broadway types watch Spielberg's Artificial Inteliigence:AI before casting HJO? I swear to god that movie ruined my life.

Ben Brantley in the New York Times trashed the production. With theater goers pinching pennies --- or saving up for spectacles like Wicked or to see a naked Daniel Radcliffe in Equus, or both --- I think we will see more open-close productions on Broadway this season.
