I will never get tired of watching John Lequizamo perform -- he is just so talented and entertaining. I really enjoyed the show, though I did think this one was less moving than some of his previous one-man shows, that delved a little more deeply and painfully into his years growing up, his relationship with his family. This was more of a retrospective of his career and life -- interesting and funny and occasionally moving but not as brilliant as previous shows.Written on Oct 04 2011

A triumph! The best live solo performance I have ever seen. John Leguizamo is a genius at writing and performing his deepest experiences in what he calls "a cautionary tale" of the successes and mistakes he's made in his life. He's brilliantly funny but also tears your heart out with his raw honesty...whether he's confessing the problems he's faced in his relationships, his career, his personal faults, and his efforts to find his voice as a man and a creative talent. I will never forget his performance! Fisher Stevens' staging enhanced Leguizamo's dynamic presence, kept everything moving at a great pace, and made it all visually interesting. I give it my very highest recommendation!!!Written on Oct 03 2011

Description
Direct from Broadway, John Leguizamo’s Ghetto Klown, directed by Fisher Stevens, opens for fifteen performances only from September 30 to October 16 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 John 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.
