About the Show:
E and A Productions, LLC, will be presenting John Leguizamo’s SPIC-O-RAMA for the very first time in Tucson. It will be presented February 5th -14th, 2009 at The Cabaret at the Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Avenue. Performances will be Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. Tickets are $20.00. For tickets and more information, go to http://www.eandaproductions.com.
SPIC-O-RAMA is a one-man show written by John Leguizamo. It will feature Alejandro Samaniego performing all 6 characters of a Colombian-Puerto Rican family from Queens, NY. The performance will be coached by Philip Bennett. Meet the family:
-little Miggy, 9 years old and the youngest of the 4 boys presenting his science project to his school class, "Monsters, Freaks, and Weirdos," a project "based loosely on my family, and any similarities are just purely on purpose," he says.
-Krazy Willie, a Desert Storm veteran looking for ways to feel better about himself, while trying to convince his fiancé to actually show up at their wedding.
-Rafael, a flamboyant and "occasional heterosexual with a slight hint of masculinity." Rafael is an actor who firmly believes he is Lawrence Olivier's long lost love child and is on a quest to reunite himself with his "daddy."
-Javier, the brother who is the outsider in the family, takes center stage in his wheelchair. He reveals the heartbreaking truth about his feelings for the family.
-Gladyz, the mother. We see her trying to keep her family together as she smokes and eats chicken at the same time and calls it "smoked chicken."
-the father Felix makes his entrance at Krazy Willie's wedding by offering his toast to the newlyweds. This awkward, funny, and ultimately tragic speech ends with him flirting with his son's new bride.
Alternately hilarious and poignant, candid and intelligent, SPIC-O-RAMA is a must-see. It won the 1992 Dramatists' Guild Hull-Warriner Award for Best American Play, 1992 Lucille Lortel Outstanding Achievement Award for Best Broadway Performance, and 1992 Drama Desk Award for Best Solo Performance. It also aired on HBO, receiving four CableACE Awards.
