The Works of John Leguizamo
Freak, Spic-o-rama, Mambo Mouth, and Sexaholix
Four landmark solo-show scripts in which Leguizamo plays dozens of characters to dissect machismo, immigration, and identity with tenderness and savagery.
This collection gathers the scripts of four of Leguizamo’s landmark solo shows, the performances that made his name and reshaped what a one-man Broadway show could be. Across them he plays dozens of characters, most drawn from his own family and Latino upbringing, to dissect machismo, immigration, and identity with equal parts tenderness and savagery. Read rather than watched, the pieces reveal how carefully constructed his seeming chaos is, and how much autobiography sits beneath the comedy.
