Latin History for Morons on Tour
A sold-out run at The Public Theater. A record-breaking engagement at Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Endless critical and audience acclaim direct from Broadway. Chalk it all up to the mad genius of Tony and Emmy Award® winner John Leguizamo, standing at the head of the class in his one man show, LATIN HISTORY FOR MORONS.
When his son gets a school assignment on heroes, John seizes the chance to teach him all about the great figures of the Latino world. But once he sets out on his irreverent crash course across three continents and 3000 years of history—from conquistadores to cumbia, Montezuma to Menudo, and taking on the characters in all of it—he uncovers provocative truths that shock even him.
This show was amazing. I laughed so hard I cried. John Leguizamo is a genius and I’m so glad he shared his knowledge with us. I wish him continued success and hope he comes back to San Antonio soon.
This show was an amazing two solid hours of laughs, reflections, poignant moments, dancing, diverse characters and a really thought provoking look at the way Latinos exist in this country and why! I would recommend it and would love to see it again. The writing and performance are brilliant and there is never a dull moment - kudos to this actor for creating such a masterpiece!
John Leguizamo perfectly empowered our history with education and humor.
Latin History for Morons is a good, entertaining show. The story bounces around a lot and can be hard to follow. There should be a little more history, a little more of a plot, but what is there is good. The real draw to the show is to see John Leguizamo live on stage. He is a fantastic actor and to captivate an audience for two hours is really something. He also signed books and took pictures after the show. Really neat to meet him.
John Leguizamo’s performance rated 5 stars! Highly recommend audiences see it.
He always gives his all and never disappoints. Such a fun night and I learned a few things. John is one of my favs.
The Fox is a beautiful place and the super friendly and very helpful. Best part of the night was the autograph signing right after the show. Mr. John Leguizamo was so nice and very friendly and he called my daughter beautiful.
Kings Theater was beautiful. Bathroom attendant was helpful. Seats were great.
Kings Theater is a beautiful venue. John was hilarious. I learned quite a bit and will read all the references. John signed books at the end which was a splendid treat.
John Leguizamo is an excellent performer and we did get a good latin history lesson. The Kings Theatre is absolutely stunning! I look forward to attending other events at this venue. Only one complaint -- the prices at the concession stand are insane (e.g., $18 for a 4 oz serving of wine).
My daughter and I enjoyed his show immensely. Who would’ve thought you could get an education and be entertained at the same time. He’s very funny and a great tenant and he’s from Queens where I was born & currently live.
Leguizamo gives an excellent performance that will have American audiences discussing for many years. Overall, his performance was GROUND BREAKING!
It is really incredible how Leguizamo bring up such an important and forgotten history to the public. He does that with so much passion, in such a funny and unique way that put us in awe. We loved it!!
John Leguizamo is a true comedian, touching on topics seemingly taboo to main society. He has an uncanny ability to tell a story while making you laugh! Great show!
It's always hard to take men of color complaining about prejudice while being sexist - their inability to see that it's the same thing is baffling. Felt more like an angry tirade than the history lesson I was hoping for. All the same, an impressive performance - sustaining the energy to hold the stage alone for an entire show.
John is a great performer. This topic is both educational, fun and necessary. The show was a good length for the tix price. A general disclosure, if you’re going to get front row tix plan on participating with the act. If you’re unwilling or shy, pick a different seat. These people help move the show from good to great and when you’re not participatory everyone feels it.
Mr. Leguizamo touched all bases with reality, humor seriousness and and one two punches that took you 30,000 feet up.. standing ovation was given and received.. papichulo your like a $5,000.00 dollar of bottle of cognac .. superbly done... nothing but top shelf... cheers to a well seasoned deserving ACTOR... La boricua Coco....Gracias
I really enjoyed John Leguizamo's performance last Sunday. I relished his use of lexicon to emphasize his point of view fortifying the theories of our native Americanism ashe presented it...totally made sense. I admire his elevated comedic performance which demonstrated, in all its glory, his skill in managing all the facets of his trade. As he explained at the beginning he would "Demoronized" us....and that is exactly what he did while we, the audience, laughed through the whole process. Loved it....Thanks Master John Leguizamo....you are a Comedic Genius.
John is amazing on stage. He was hilarious and I couldn't get over his dancing, HE KILLED IT! Great Latin History lesson that you don't want to miss. We got our book signed and he is such a sweetheart!
What a beautiful way to describe latin history---so funny and clever--and hits it on the nail! Nailed it
