The former Shadowhunters star joined The Little Mermaid concert star Auli’i Cravalho for the play.
Latin History of Morons was inspired by the near total absence of Latinos from his son’s American history books and follows John Leguizamo on an outrageously funny, frenzied search to find a Latin hero for his son’s school project.
