Westbeth Entertainment News

Fania Records announced today a new association with award winning actor John Leguizamo and WestBeth Entertainment.

Those coming to see this 'new puppet show' expecting those delightful Jim Henson Muppets are in for a real surprise... but a really good one. Perhaps the funniest, most masterfully inappropriate use of puppets since Avenue Q, STUFFED AND UNSTRUNG is an uproariously gut-busting show that combines the wonder of those superbly crafted Henson workshop creations with the bawdy, decidedly adults-only humor of improv. A production offered by Henson Alternative--the adult arm of the Jim Henson puppetry empire--this well-received off-Broadway cult hit makes its West Coast Premiere presentations at the Irvine Barclay Theatre in Orange County, California through Sunday, January 2.

The Irvine Barclay Theatre presents the West Coast Premiere of STUFFED AND UNSTRUNG, a live uncensored show that lets loose the perilous and provocative elements of comedic improvisation on stage with a bunch of puppets. Created by award-winning director, producer, and writer Brian Henson and actor and improvisational guru Patrick Bristow and featuring The Jim Henson Company's renowned puppeteers, this one-of-a-kind comedy made for grown-ups is playing a limited six-show run at the Irvine Barclay Theatre on Wednesday, December 29 through Sunday, January 2.

John Leguizamo returns to Broadway next year with his new solo play GHETTO KLOWN for a 12-week engagement beginning previews on February 21 and opening on Tuesday March 22 at the Lyceum Theatre (149 West 45th Street).
