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 Pat on 4/9/19Citizens Bank Opera House - BostonGood adaptation of the original film. A blend of West Side Story and Jersey Boys seemed a bit of a stretch. Cast voices were exceptional.

by J. C. on 4/9/19Citizens Bank Opera House - BostonA Bronx Tale: The Musical (touring) brings the movie to the stage. The musical closely followed the movie, with very few exceptions. The cast and crew did a wonderful job. Early reviews I'd read advised that there was a lot of swearing, however that wasnt the case and my family and I enjoyed the show very much.

The acting, dancing, and singing were all lively, unique, and fun to watch. The story was told in such an engaging manner. We left with a "can do" feeling and a sense of hope.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Incredible cast!
by Steph on 4/8/19Citizens Bank Opera House - BostonWhat a great show from start to finish. I was so thrilled that it translated so seemlessly from screen to stage, though from the people involved it shouldnât have been a surprise. The cast was amazing and the songs were so powerful. The audience was laughing, gasping and applauding throughout. Do not miss this show, especially if you are a fan of the film. You will be delighted and moved.

Rating: 3 out of 5 Vocal clarity
by HM on 2/25/19Orpheum Theatre - MinneapolisWhile I enjoyed the score and vocals I was unable to understand both lyrics and dialogue. In speaking with others that attended the performance they had the same problem. Iâm from NYC so it was not the faux accents. Vocal coach needs to work on clarity and vowels.

by R. S. on 2/22/19Orpheum Theatre - MinneapolisNice venue. Set design impressive. Shallow story line if there was one. Little, to any, character development.

by TPR2 on 10/30/18Rochester Auditorium Theatre - RochesterWhen you have 11 cast members from the Broadway run, you are bound to have superior act iing and singing with dancing. A Bronx Tale had all this and more, It was true to the movie.The songs were appropo to the time period . A Bronx Tale is really the story of all American cities neighborhoods that have changed in the last 50 years It was emotional for me thinking about my old neighborhood that I grew up in Buffalo, NY. A Bronx Tale is not a great musical, however it was entertaining enough to be good musical I would give it 4 stars. It was worth the trip to Rochester. I really enjoyed it.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Bronx tale- just no where near the iconic movie
by Cindyb3815 on 10/25/18Rochester Auditorium Theatre - RochesterSuch an iconic movie was condensed to so little. A lot was left out, things skipped over, or major things squeezed down to barely memorable moments. Husband and I had been waiting and looking forward to the show. Unfortunately we were a bit let down.m
