Leguizamo imaginatively ties these six together into one dysfunctional nuclear family. Not that ``Spic-O-Rama,`` a work-in-progress, is the intricately developed, self-reverberating and full-blown play it seeks to be. Yet, already, there`s an impressive continuity in subject matter and visual style, along with some very funny insights into Latino think, according to Leguizamo. His self-put-down, of a young man determined to be the new Olivier, is priceless (
``I`m not white or black, but the color of urine``). His tawdry, kittenish mother, Gladys, is a mesmerizing ethnic drag turn.
