John Leguizamo to Appear on HOT 97 Radio Tomorrow Morning

John Leguizamo's GHETTO KLOWN, directed by Fisher Stevens, is currently running on Broadway at the Broadway's Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street). Hear John in the 7 AM hour tomorrow morning Friday April 15 on HOT 97's "Cipha, Sounds and Rosenberg Show" (97FM). He'll be there to talk about his current Broadway show and the DVD release of his Emmy Award winning and Tony Award nominated show, FREAK, directed by Spike Lee (Salient Media, available on Amazon.com, itunes and select retailers). FREAK originally aired on HBO. The DVD will be released exclusively at Record Store Day stores on the 16th and everywhere else on the 19th. John Leguizamo will be making an appearance at Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ to sign DVD copies this Saturday April 16th at 1 PM.

GHETTO KLOWN's producers recently announced an extension through July 10. GHETTO KLOWN began performances on February 21 and had been announced as a 12 week engagement. 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."

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."

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.
