Chazz Palminteri Recreates his tour de force Broadway performance

Directed by Tony winner Jerry Zaks

A BRONX TALE, the funny and touching memoir written and starring Academy Award®-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri comes to the Parker Playhouse in Ft. Lauderdale for eight performances only beginning Tuesday, February 10 through Sunday, February 15, 2009 presented by RRA Broadway Across America - Ft. Lauderdale and Florida Theatrical Association.  

A BRONX TALE, launched this National Tour, September 2008 to rave reviews.    Phil Gallo, of Variety said it is "Masterful!  It occupies 100 minutes but it feels like five ... it's been almost 20 years since Palminteri's one-man show, in which he plays 18 characters, first catapulted him to fame, but after two decades with this wonderful material, Palminteri's story still seems as fresh and insightful as ever." 

 

 

In A BRONX TALE, the celebrated play on which he based the 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 one's true potential and trusting one's heart.  

 

 

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."  

The Associated Press described A BRONX TALE as "enormously entertaining. A vibrant, warmhearted saga. Palminteri conjures up a parade of appealing characters with humor, great affection and more than a little heartbreak."
