Based on the critically acclaimed play that inspired the now classic film, this streetwise musical will take you to the stoops of the Bronx in the 1960s—where a young man is caught between the father he loves and the mob boss he’d love to be.

A Bronx Tale is directed by two-time Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro and four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks, written by Academy Award nominee Chazz Palminteri, with songs by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken and three-time Tony Award nominee Glenn Slater, choreography by Tony nominee Sergio Trujillo, and produced by music mogul Tommy Mottola, The Dodgers (Jersey Boys, Matilda) and Tribeca Productions, and Evamere Entertainment.

Billed as “a combination of Jersey Boys and West Side Story,” the new musical A Bronx Tale follows Calogero, a young man growing up in the Bronx in the 1960s. Early on in his life, the protagonist finds himself conflicted between two men: a mobster who takes Calogero under his wing, and Calogero’s father: a humble, hardworking man who only wants the best for his son. This is the third incarnation of A Bronx Tale: the first being an autobiographical play by Chazz Palminteri, and the second a movie starring Palminteri and Robert De Niro. In fact, the musical is written by Palminteri and directed by De Niro (and Jerry Zaks), with songs by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater. Befitting the era in which the play takes place, A Bronx Tale’s score is full of 1960s style doo-wop, harmonies à la The Marcels, and rhythmic snapping and guitar strumming. With the newly released cast album now available, you can revel in the transportive, swing-worthy soundtrack of this new hit musical.
