Three Nights Only — March 9-11, 2012
The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater
Emmy winning star of all three “Ice Age†films, “Carlito’s Way,†Baz Lurhmann’s “Romeo + Juliet†and “Moulin Rouge!,†“To Wong Foo…†and “Executive Decision†stars in “Ghetto Klownâ€
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,†and “Executive Decision†— performs his Broadway show “Ghetto Klown†for three performances only March 9-11 at the The Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theater 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!â€
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.
Leguizamo, who has appeared in more than fifty films and was also seen on Nickelodeon series “The Brothers Garcia,†as well as on “ER†and “Miami Vice,†is also one of the nation’s most accomplished stage performers. “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 that populate 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.
