Academy Award-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri returns to the stage in an unforgettable performance fresh from a successful run on Broadway, where it was praised by the critics and adored by the public. In A BRONX TALE, the celebrated play on which he based the legendary movie, Palminteri vividly depicts a young boy’s rough childhood in the 1960s-era Bronx and the unforgettable people he encountered. A classic coming-of-age story about reaching ones true potential and trusting one’s heart, A BRONX TALE is directed by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks.

A BRONX TALE was first mounted off Broadway in 1989 and helped establish Palminteri as a writer and actor with a distinct voice. In A BRONX TALE, Palminteri brings 18 characters to vivid life, depicting a rough childhood on Bronx streets populated by a cast of friends and enemies. This production of A BRONX TALE directed by Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks opened on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre quickly becoming one of the few bona fide hits of the 2007-2008 Broadway season.

Chazz Palminteri’s tour de force performance on Broadway last season was heralded by critics and audiences. Charles Isherwood of The New York Times called it, “a rejuvenating act of faith in the powers of acting and storytelling.”
