Music and madness at Ahmanson

Barbara Cook, John Leguizamo and Elaine Stritch will bring their latest shows to the Ahmanson Theatre in the spring.

Cook will perform in her Tony-nominated “Mostly Sondheim” Feb. 28-March 9, accompanied by pianist Wally Harper and bassist Jon Burr. Leguizamo will perform his autobiographical monologue “Sexaholix ... a Love Story” March 11-23. And Stritch will tell stories and sing April 8-27 in her “Elaine Stritch at Liberty,” which won a Tony Award this year for Special Theatrical Event.

The only show that had any previous L.A. dates was Leguizamo’s. The actor performed his pre-New York version of the show at the Wiltern Theater last year under the title “John Leguizamo ... Live!”
