Emmy Award winner John Leguizamo, known for his many film roles — as the voice of Sid in all three “Ice Age” films, Baz Lurhmann’s “Romeo + Juliet” and “Moulin Rouge!,” “To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar,” “Carlito’s Way,” “Executive Decision,” and the current “One For The Money” starring Katherine Heigl — performs his Broadway show “Ghetto Klown” for three performances only February 23-25 at the Wortham Center Cullen Theatre in Houston as part of his 2012 US tour.
The New York Times says that Leguizamo on stage is “irresistible. He has the energy of a 12-year old who has just downed a Red Bull and a jumbo package of Twinkies.” Variety says he is hyper-talented with “Dead-on and deliciously cruel impersonations.” The Los Angeles Times says he is “a nuclear performer, ricocheting around the stage as though he had been shot out of a pistol!”
John says, “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 Leguizamo and directed by Academy Award winner Fisher Stevens, “Ghetto Klown” is presented by WestBeth Entertainment.
