Puntuation for DVD

How would I punctuate this sentence?
One comma or two?

Take a behind-the-scenes look at Lindsay Underwood backstage, as she prepares for her hilarious performance.

Take a behind-the-scenes look at Lindsay Underwood, backstage, as she prepares for her hilarious performance.

Thanks!

I see no need for any comma at all. As a matter of fact, the word backstage is redundant and either it or behind-the-scenes should be omitted-- since they mean the same thing, and it is made clear that she is preparing , not performing. PS: Oh!
