Chazz Palminteri's One Man Show - A Bronx Tale

Academy Award nominee Chazz Palminteri returns to the Ridgefield Playhouse stage with “A Bronx Tale” for his twice-annual CT performance! This year, The Tribeca Film Festival debuted a filmed performance of the autobiographical one-man stage play, written, directed by, and starring Chazz Palminteri.

In 1989 Palminteri wrote for himself a play entitled “A Bronx Tale,” a powerful one-man stage commentary in which he depicted his bruising childhood in great detail, including witnessing gangland slayings. Palminteri brought each and every character to life (18 in all) in this autobiographical piece — his friends, enemies, even his own family. He showcased for years in both Los Angeles and New York, finally sparking the interest of his film idol, Robert De Niro. DeNiro, wanting to direct for the first time, saw the potential of this project and brought both it and the actor/writer to the screen.

This is the show that started it all! Before it became a hit Broadway show, Chazz Palminteri performed the one man show of the book and film, A Bronx Tale — about his true life story of growing up in the Bronx — right here on the stage of the Ridgefield Playhouse! Now, after winning multiple awards and performing the show more than 900 times on stages around the world, Chazz Palminteri is back with the original one man show that sold out!
