CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Billboard Magazine reports:



Darren Criss has come on board to complete the cast of the upcoming Broadway revival of David Mamet’s American Buffalo, joining previously announced co-stars Laurence Fishburne and Sam Rockwell in the modern classic about three smalltime hustlers.

The project marks Criss’ return to Broadway for the first time since his breakout success as Andrew Cunanan in FX’s The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story, which earned him Emmy and Golden Globe Awards.

Criss made his Broadway debut in 2012 as J. Pierrepont Finch in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and followed in 2015 with a stint in the title role of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. The Mamet drama will mark his first nonmusical project for Broadway.
