Coming To Broadway

wenn5114863.jpg


Jeremy Piven is set to hit Broadway next season!


The Pivert, who's best known for his role in Entourage, will make his Broadway debut in a revival of Speed-the-Plow.


Pivert will play the role of Bobby Gould, the film producer . As of yet, no other castings have been announced.


The David Mamet play is notable for being Madonna's first (and last) foray on Broadway.


The play was first produced on Broadway back in 1988 and also featured Joe Mantegna and Ron Silver.


A London revival currently stars Kevin Spacey, Jeff Goldblum and Laura Michelle Kelley.


We'd like to see that one instead!


Another one of David Mamet's plays will also be released next seasoned. It's the revival of American Buffalo and will star John Leguizamo, aka Luigi in the Super Mario film.


We kid, though. Leguizamo has a long history on Broadway.


And, actually, The Pivert's family own an acting school back in Chicago.


Let's hope (for them) he doesn't suck! There are no second takes on Broadway.
