About the Show

After a run at the Public Theater, Emmy and Obie winner John Leguizamo brings his hit solo show about the buried history of Latinos in the Americas to Broadway.

Inspired by the near total absence of Latinos in his son’s American history class, Leguizamo embarks on a frenzied search to find a Latin hero for his son’s school project. From a mad recap of the Aztec empire to stories of unknown Latin patriots of the Revolutionary War and beyond, Leguizamo breaks down the 3,000 years between the Mayans and Ricky Ricardo into 100 irreverent and uncensored minutes in his trademark style.

Clever, Delightful, Hilarious, Masterful, Relevant

See it if Leguizamo matches the frenetic energy of past monologue pieces within a framework releveant to current political times

Don't see it if Has the occasional (seemingly) recycled gag; consistent with past pieces so known non-fans are unlikely to be swayed

Absorbing, Clever, Entertaining, Funny, Hilarious

See it if You want to see an honest take on Latin history. You want to see John Leguizamo dance and dissect the Latino place in history.

Don't see it if You are not open minded and easily offended or are pro trump.

See it if you enjoy one man shows; have an interest in learning a bit of history through comedy;enjoy family stories that link the past to the present

Don't see it if you prefer shows with big casts and fictional stories

Entertaining, Funny, Relevant

See it if you want to see a comedy that is raunchy and very relevant. John Leguizamo created a show that makes you think as much as you laugh.

Don't see it if you do not understand Spanish. There are a decent amount of jokes that will be missed that he does not explain in English.

Thought-provoking, Relevant, Resonant, Hilarious, Intelligent

See it if you like a creative, hilarious and very personal perspective on a serious topic -- namely the genocide of Latin Americans through history.

Don't see it if you dislike one-person shows, or you just don't think John Leguizamo is talented (he is). This show is not for racists or Trump supporters.

Funny, Entertaining

See it if you’re a John Leguizamo fan. He tells engaging, personal stories.

Don't see it if While this isn’t his best, it’s an entertaining 90 mins with a few profound moments.
