 More critically acclaimed one-man shows followed. Spic-O-Rama, Freak, and Sexoholix…A Love Story made him a household name. Freak even won a 2000 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding One-person Show and the HBO film (directed by Spike Lee) won an Emmy the same year. These shows, as will Ghetto Klown, are John Leguizamo's chance to share his childhood, young adulthood, and even his adulthood with audiences. He riffs on his family dysfunction with a manic energy that forces audiences to laugh where other performers would be drowning in an audience full of pity…and empty seats. John Leguizamo has established himself as an actor in scenes with more than one person as well. He has shone on film in To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, and Romeo+Juliet as well as on stage, as part of the ensemble in the 2008 revival of David Mamet's American Buffalo. However, even his biggest fans must admit they cannot wait to see him return to the Broadway stage to take on the ultimate role (himself) once again. This time he may even bring home a well deserved Tony Award! Get your Ghetto Klown tickets to see John Leguizamo live at the Lyceum Theatre. He will not be there long. Preview performances begin February 21, 2011 and the official opening of the 12-week run begins March 22, 2011. OnlineSeats will have these tickets cheap as well as affordable theater tickets for many other Broadway productions.
