Actor John Leguizamo is back at the La Jolla Playhouse. This time it's with a musical.
"Kiss My Aztec!" uses humor to tell the story of a group of Aztecs leading the resistance against Spanish invaders in the 16th-century.
"I think the best way to get information out is to smuggle it in a joke. I think it's the best way to get people to want to listen to things that they don't really want to listen to," Leguizamo said.

Director Tony Taccone co-wrote the musical with Leguizamo.
They both join KPBS Midday on Tuesday to discuss what they hope audiences take away from the piece.
