FEATURED REVIEWS FOR A Bronx Tale: The Musical
Theater Review: A Bronx Tale Gets Up and Starts to Sing
6 / 10
The musical is handsome and reasonably well performed, especially by Bobby Conte Thornton as Calogero and Nick Cordero as Sonny. And it still has, in précis, that timely and timeless set of concerns. In a corrupt society, is the working man 'a sucker,' as Sonny maintains? How do we make moral sense of the good qualities of bad people - and vice versa? That A Bronx Tale, as a musical, never answers these questions is fair enough; that it lacks the subtlety to raise them seriously is very nearly a crime.
‘A Bronx Tale’ review: Broadway musical an entertaining crowd-pleaser
8 / 10
The characters are simple, the storytelling is derivative of better-known musicals ('West Side Story,' 'Jersey Boys') and the tone is excessively sentimental and solemn. But 'A Bronx Tale,' the new Broadway musical based upon actor-writer Chazz Palminteri's coming of age in an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx of the 1960s, is nevertheless an entertaining crowd-pleaser and a poignant piece of theater. If it works, it works.
