Samenvatting:

This volume collects all four of the writer-performer's legendary, award–winning solo shows.
John Leguizamo rose to stardom with a series of critically acclaimed solo shows in which he embodied a diverse cast of unforgettable characters. Now all four of these classic theatrical works— Freak, Spic-o-Rama, Mambo Mouth, and Sexaholix—are available in this one essential volume.
Mambo Mouth
Leguizamo's first show was an Off-Broadway sensation. In it, he portrayed seven different Latino characters in a bravura performance that earned him both Obie and Outer Critics Circle awards.
Spic–O–Rama
A "dysfunctional family comedy," presents 24–hours in the life of one family. It enjoyed a sold–out run in Chicago before relocating to New York where it won its creator a Drama Desk Award.
Freak
Leguizamo's Broadway debut tells his own coming–of–age story. A "demi–semi–quasi–pseudo–autobiography," which went on to become an Emmy special on HBO.
Sexaholix: A Love Story
Leguizamo's "raunchy-yet-sweet comic solo performance"—a hit on both Broadway and HBO—explores his own coming of age as he transforms into a father and family man ( Washington Post).
