John Leguizamo to Appear on THEATRETALK 6/16

John Leguizamo, currently starring on Broadway in GHETTO KLOWN, will be a guest on THEATRETALK on Thursday June 16 at 11:30 PM on NJN-TV; on Friday June 17 at 12:30 PM on NYC- TV; and Friday June 24 at 12:30 AM on Channel 13.

GHETTO KLOWN, directed by Fisher Stevens, is currently playing at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street); it closes on July 10.

GHETTO KLOWN began performances on February 21 and was extended to July 10. 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 Sexaholic...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.

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.
