A Bronx Tale: The Musical
Theater, Musicals
(1user review)
A boy must choose between his law-abiding, bus-driving father and a smooth-talking mob boss in Chazz Palminteri's coming-of-age story, which began as a monologue, became a movie and now returns as a Broadway musical. With songs by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater (Leap of Faith), the piece is directed by Robert De Niro and Jerry Zaks. Read the full review.

This is by no means a perfect show, feeling a bit void of 'the heart' (it so often talks about) at times, but it was definitely an enjoyable 2 hours. It had West Side Story 'esque' themes of boy and girl from different racial neighbourhoods falling for each other, as well as mafia links and underground crap games a la Guys & Dolls. The beauty of this show is in it's simplicity, there are a few bangs that make you jump, but other than that it trundles along at a pleasant pace, with a satisfying, if sad ending. But you kind of don't love it or hate it, it's just a nice evening at the Theatre, which is possibly it's downfall.
