“JOHN LEGUIZAMO LIVE!” HEATS UP JACKSONVILLE – Catch the Latest Work from John Leguizamo LIVE on Stage – Two Nights ONLY! Friday, November 20 & Saturday, November 21 – Times Union Center for the Performing Arts, Terry Theatre

Tomas — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:08:28 +0000

Hot on the heels of successful stops in Indianapolis, Louisville, New Haven, Santa Fe and Toronto, award-winning writer/actor John Leguizamo brings his brand new show John Leguizamo LIVE! to Jacksonville. Shows are at 8:00 PM on Friday, November 20 and Saturday, November 21 at the Times Union Center for the Performing Arts.

John Leguizamo thrills audiences as he gets up close and personal in his new, uncensored, uninhibited tour-de-force. John Leguizamo LIVE! drew cheering crowds as it took to the road this past July, with stops at intimate venues across the U.S. Of his latest evolving one-man show, Leguizamo exclaims, "Yo, wat up my peoples? Wat’s crackin? Me that’s what. I'm coming to town with the latest installment of leguizamomania! This one is for the ages don't miss it -- the first time civilian eyes will be viewing my new and latest and greatest show. Help me help you get some anti-recession and anti-depression hilarity.”

In Leguizamo’s trademark live performance style, this piece explodes with energy taking audiences on a non-stop fever-pitch adventure, heating up the stage with vivid accounts of where he’s been and the colorful characters who’ve shaped different facets of his life. From his adolescent memories in Queens, New York, to the early days of his acting career and beyond -- with stories of the outrageous 80’s avant-garde theater scene and anecdotes from major movie sets and roles opposite some of Hollywood’s biggest film stars, John Leguizamo LIVE! is in turns uproarious and heartfelt, laying it bare for those along for the ride.

Multi-faceted performer and Emmy Award winner John Leguizamo's notable career defies categorization. Possessing boundless energy and creativity, Leguizamo's work spans the genres of film, theatre, television, literature and beyond. As writer and performer, Leguizamo created the Off-Broadway sensation Mambo Mouth, in which he portrayed seven different characters (Obie, Outer Critics Circle, Vanguardia Awards).

His second one-man show Spic-O-Rama enjoyed extended sold-out runs in Chicago and New York (Dramatists' Guild Hull-Warriner Award for Best American Play, Lucille Lortel Outstanding Achievement Award for Best Broadway Performance, Drama Desk Award for Best Solo Performance). His third solo show Freak completed a successful run on Broadway in 1998. A special presentation of Freak, directed by Spike Lee, aired on HBO (Emmy Award for Outstanding Performance in a Variety or Music Program and nomination for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special). In Fall 2001 Leguizamo returned to Broadway with Sexaholix...a Love Story, directed by Peter Askin (Outer Critics Circle Award nomination for "Outstanding Solo Performance" and Tony Award nomination for Best Special Theatrical Performance). Sexaholix aired as an HBO Special in Spring 2002 and toured widely. Other stage credits: A Midsummer Night's Dream and La Puta Vida at the New York Shakespeare Festival and Parting Gestures at INTAR. Presently, Leguizamo delights younger fans as the voice of Syd in Ice Age 1, 2 and 3. He has been seen in countless films including Love in the Time of Cholera opposite Javier Bardem and Benjamin Bratt, The Happening opposite Mark Wahlberg, Righteous Kill opposite Robert Deniro and Al Pacino, The Babysitters opposite Cynthia Nixon and The Take opposite Rosie Perez as well as Miracle at St. Anna, Land of the Dead, The Groomsmen, Lies & Alibis, Assault on Precinct 13, Sueno, Spin, Moulin Rouge, Summer of Sam, King of the Jungle, Spawn, William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, Dr. Doolittle, Carlito's Way and Casualties of War.

VivirLatino Meets the Talento Artistico of John Leguizamo and Kind of Didn’t Like Him!

Tomas — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 16:42:05 +0000

"One thing is for sure, Leguizamo isn't shy about stating his opinions. He discussed his idol, Richard Pryor and how his comedy combined the political and the social. While Leguizamo described himself as being an artist and seeing the artist as a political animal, he had zero problem criticizing the critiques of other artists. For example, when responding to a question about if his one man shows were negatively stereotypical and played into white audience othering of Latino men and women, he said that only one person said that, performance artist and academic Coco Fusco and that she said that because she was just jealous because her boyfriend had a show on at the same time that wasn't doing so well. Ouch. And while Leguizamo touched on tough topics such as the colorism within the Latin community, it felt as if he was playing for the white portion of the audience. He constantly talked about his old stomping grounds of Jackson Heights, Queens, in a slightly negative tone, like, that was then and I'm above that. He clearly has reached a place of privilege, and mentioned his kids going to private schools and that that gave them a leg up, but it was the way he said it. "

"With a starring role in this week's 'The Happening', John Leguizamo has had a strange career. Tom Huddleston combs through it

Jack of all trades, forever a bridesmaid, king of the B-list: like a long-running TV show that just enough people watch, bat-faced Latino homunculus John Leguizamo has been ploughing his own unique, directionless and seemingly unending furrow through the mezzanine echelons of Hollywood for over two decades without ever managing to hammer a sizeable dent in the popular consciousness."

Q&A: John Leguizamo

"John Leguizamo's been busy. This year alone he's appeared in the crime drama The Take, the indie black comedy The Babysitters, and June 13 he hits the big screen in M. Night Shyamalan's psychological creepfest The Happening.

Later this year he'll play a detective alongside Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in Righteous Kill, a washed-up boxer dad in Where God Left His Shoes and a member of a dysfunctional Hispanic family in the holiday heartwarmer Humboldt Park.

Not bad for a kid from Bogota, Colombia (his family immigrated to New York when he was 4) who was nearly expelled from high school."
