I was able to entice Special K to the Big Apple this past weekend with tickets to "A Bronx Tale" on Broadway. (Well, I think it was actually ME that was the enticing part and the Broadway tix were just gravy.)
"A Bronx Tale" was originally a one-man show, written and performed by Chazz Palminteri for the stage. After runs in both Los Angeles and off-Broadway, Palminteri adapted the story into the screenplay which gave Robert de Niro his directorial debut. Now, almost 15 years after the film was produced, "A Bronx Tale" is finally on Broadway for a limited run.
If you've seen the movie (or were lucky enough to see the original stage production), you know it's the story of a young boy who has to make tough choices and each choice shapes the direction of his life's path. Palminteri is absolutely riveting in this performance with brilliant timing, delivery and an uncanny ability to convey a number of complex and convincing characters.
Like I said, it's only playing for a limited time, so get tickets while you can!
