Not impressed with GoldStar's 'premium' seating. At all. However, Leguizamo is spot on in a hilarious and touching journey through his life.Written on Oct 12 2011

Saw John Leguizamo's final L.A. performance of 'Ghetto Klown' on Sunday. His autobiographical show was amazing, so funny and the writing is brilliant. We were so suprised to have our tickets upgraded to the orchestra section gratis; the advantages of Goldstar premium 'Red Velvet' membership.Written on Oct 18 2011

The show was fine, except it was mostly addressed to people who were fans of Mr. L's other 4 shows. Being unfamiliar with those my group didn't find it compelling enough to stay past intermission. Much of the audience, though, seemed to love it.Written on Oct 15 2011

Description
Direct from Broadway, John Leguizamo’s Ghetto Klown, directed by Fisher Stevens, opens at The Ricardo Montalbán Theatre.
Leguizamo said, “I love that all my peoples are showing up to witness the latest chapter of my life on stage; I want to keep this show open until I’ve messed up my 10-year-old son enough for him to be my understudy.”
Conceived and performed by Emmy and Obie Award-winner Leguizamo and directed by Academy Award-winner Fisher Stevens, Ghetto Klown is presented by WestBeth Entertainment, Daveed D. Frazier and Nelle Nugent.
Ghetto Klown is the next chapter in John Leguizamo’s popular personal and professional story. It is his fifth one-man play, his third on Broadway, and follows in the uninhibited tradition of his Mambo Mouth, Spic-O-Rama, Freak, and Sexaholix…a Love Story.
In Leguizamo’s trademark style, the piece explodes with energy, heating up the stage with vivid accounts of the colorful characters who have populated his life. He takes audiences from his adolescent memories in Queens to the early days of his acting career and on to the sets of major motion pictures and his roles opposite some of Hollywood's biggest stars.
Leguizamo explains, “Ghetto Klown is all the things I say to my therapist and my manager, but would never want the general public to know. It’s cheaper than a lawsuit and I get to take a bow at the end. It’s like Wikileaks but with no international manhunt. Yet.”
Ghetto Klown was showcased in earlier incarnations in cities including Philadelphia, New Haven, Santa Fe, Louisville, La Jolla, Berkeley, Toronto, and at Montreal’s Just for Laughs Festival.
