"The confessional tone of many of his previous stage outings is on display...If we did not like Leguizamo so well, we might resent being called Morons, but we’ll let it pass. It must be galling to hail from one of the Hispanic isles — the Bronx or P.R. for example–and have us flaunt the myth that America was 'discovered' by an Italian in service to his Spanish Queen."

“Leguizamo needs to make room on his shelf of accomplishments because ‘Latin History For Morons’ is a powerful, and powerfully funny lecture that should once again garner awards for its creator and professor…In this production Taccone lets his thoroughbred lead run at his own pace but has crafted a world around him that lets every aspect shine…Leguizamo is a true citizen of the world and he’s on a mission to teach a class we should all take. Now more than ever."

"Unapologetic, of-the-moment, matured and funny...Leguizamo delivers his signature brand of humor, self-deprecation with a newfound responsibility to bring political awareness to the mistreatment of Latino immigrants by the current administration...Definitely worth seeing. Middle-age certainly hasn’t slowed Leguizamo down, and his fans will not be disappointed."
