A Bronx Tale: The Musical on Tour
Originating in Los Angeles as a one-man play written and performed by Chazz Palminteri, A Bronx Tale became a 1993 movie produced and directed by Robert De Niro before opening as a Broadway musical in 2016. Palminteri's coming-of-age story about Calogero, a young New Yorker struggling to reconcile his father's values with the alluring world of organized crime, is now a powerful touring show retaining the high standards set by codirectors De Niro and Jerry Zaks. Alan Menken, known for the Disney screen and stage classics Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, composed the doo-wop flavored score. The touring cast features 2015 American Idol winner Nick Fradiani as Calogero's father, with Jeff Brooks as the charismatic mob boss, Sonny. Fans of Jersey Boys and West Side Story will find much to enjoy and admire in a musical that captures New York's multicultural milieu in all its colorful intensity.
A Bronx Tale: The Musical Background
Chazz Palminteri's stirring one-man play ďż˝ about a young New Yorker torn between his father's old-school ethics and a life of crime ďż˝ is based on the writer-actor's traumatic childhood encounter with murder. After portraying 18 characters onstage, Palminteri found a sympathetic patron and partner in Robert De Niro, with whom Palminteri would act in the acclaimed 1993 film adaptation of A Bronx Tale, which De Niro produced and directed. After performing his one-man show on Broadway in 2007, Palminteri expanded it into a full-fledged musical, codirected by De Niro, that fleshed out his story with the evocative sounds of doo-wop, R&B and 1960s girl groups as reimagined by composer Alan Menken with lyricist Glenn Slater. Palminteri's story also includes an interracial romance whose challenges echo those explored in Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. Over the decades, A Bronx Tale has evolved into a multimedia morality saga whose universal lessons are delivered in high-spirited, emotionally riveting Broadway style.

by Klerin on 6/18/19Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center - Ft LauderdaleBased on a true story of a new immigrant family growing up in the Bronx the movie is excellent as was the theater performance. Looking forward to reading the book. I always enjoy a true account of the past. Cast, lyrics, music, choreography wonderful!
Rating: 4 out of 5 A Fun Show, especially if you're from The Bronx
by Larry B on 6/17/19Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center - Ft LauderdaleWe loved the show. First, it is one of my favorite movies; I've watched it countless times. I particularly liked that they did not overdue the NY accents like Newsies. The songs were fine, but nothing memorable. The actor playing SONNY was fantastic. It is a fun time at the theater.
Rating: 4 out of 5 A little disappointed
by M. C. on 6/17/19Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center - Ft LauderdaleIâve been to this venue before and have had some great experiences. Unfortunately this time that I really wanted to make an impression, I was not able to wow my recipient. I had purchased the tickets as a birthday gift and due to the fact that all previous shows had been quite awesome, I expected the same of this one. The show was entertaining and the actors were good but no pizazz or memorable moments. Usually there is a tune that sticks with you long after the show is finished but not this time. Nothing stood out. It wasnât a total bomb but I can not honestly say that I had the desire to jump up and sing or dance or even give a standing ovation. Sorry

by Annette on 6/17/19Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center - Ft LauderdaleThe sound was good so being in the back of the theatre wasn't horrible. It was a great playand quite a few of the cast from Broadway were in the show. It was fun to watch and the players had amazing voices. I highly recommend it.
Rating: 4 out of 5 A good show!
by Sm on 6/16/19Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center - Ft LauderdaleIt was a good show! We thoroughly enjoyed the talent and the show. No award-winning tunes, but a well-oiled, well-run show. Strong voices performing a realistic story that was totally entertaining.
Rating: 5 out of 5 No Bronx Cheer for this Bronx Tale!
by JohnnyWonder on 6/15/19Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center - Ft LauderdaleThe show was outstanding! I saw it on Broadway in NYC two years ago. The performance Wednesday night at the Broward Center was it's equal in every way. The stage, singing, performances just awesome! The theater was far more spacious, cool, and relaxing than the tiny Broadway venue. Dinner at Marti's topped everything off. Couldn't have asked for a better night!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Absolutely fabulous!!!
by YJM on 4/17/19Citizens Bank Opera House - BostonChaz and DiNiro did it again....every cherished nuance of both media captured perfectly. Only this time as I exited the theatre not only was I laughing and crying at the same, I was singing as well. Chaz and DiNiro got their three chances and each time they knocked it out of the park.

by Theresa on 4/17/19Citizens Bank Opera House - BostonA Bronx Tail was riveting loved it from start to finish. It told a nice story of young love, and how biracial relationships were as complicated back then as to now. The cast were spectacular.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Great Entertainment
by R. D. on 4/16/19Citizens Bank Opera House - BostonFrom the opening doo-wop number through the big finale, A Bronx Tale delivers on all fronts. There's humor, love stories, gangsters and serious consideration of race relations, parenting and coming of age.

by Sonie on 4/16/19Citizens Bank Opera House - BostonI wanted to see how it would portray n stage because I have only seen the movie and it was nice. The singing and dancing was thrilling for me to watch. I love watching such a wonderful cast bring Chazz Palminteri story to the stage.
