Ouch

A revival of David Mamet's American Buffalo opened on Monday. It received lukewarm reviews, and now it is closing on Sunday. You'd think a show with Cedric the Entertainer, John Leguizamo and Haley Joel Osment would overcome a tepid reception to run out the season, but given the current economic climate, only raves could possibly, maybe save a show. After all, who's going to spend $51.50 to $116.50 (actual American Buffalo ticket prices) on theater tickets if the show isn't supposed to be any bloody good?
