Chazz Palminteri will return to Providence with his critically acclaimed hit A Bronx Tale. The show will play for one night only at The VETS on March 1st, 2014.

A Bronx Tale is a funny and touching memoir written by and starring Chazz Palminteri. In the celebrated play on which he based the legendary movie, directed by and co-starring Robert De Niro, Palminteri brings 18 characters to life while vividly depicting a young boy's rough childhood in the 1960's-era Bronx and the unforgettable people he encountered. A classic coming-of-age story about reaching your true potential and trusting your heart.

Chazz Palminteri, a Sicilian/Italian American, was born Calogero Lorenzo Palminteri in the Bronx, New York. The son of a Bronx bus driver, he first dreamed of an acting career at age 13.
