As an actor, Joe played Joey in San Francisco’s Tony & Tina’s Wedding for many years and Frankie in Off-Broadway’s My Big Gay Italian Wedding. He also starred on NBC’s "Lost," one of television’s first adventure reality series. Joe was featured on Season 3 of HBO’s "The Deuce" and his new play, Reel Wood, will have its world premiere in NYC this spring. Recently produced in Milan, Italy, a film version of Joe’s award-winning play, Sleeping With The Fish, starring Tony®-nominee Lou Liberatore, is currently in production.

This very special Feinstein’s/54 performance of The Bronx Queen will feature special guest, actor/chanteuse Susan Campanaro. Susan has been a company member of the hit Off-Broadway show, Tony & Tina’s Wedding in NYC, US tours, and Japan for 28 years. She has just completed work on Billy’s Cult a horror/thriller due in theaters late 2020. Susan also co-wrote and performs in Missing Person, a musical based on her legendary nightlife persona, Lavinia Draper. You can catch some of Susan’s formidable acting in Joe Gulla’s aforementioned, Reel Wood, this Spring. Susan’s accompanist will be singer, songwriter, musical director, Gerry Dieffenbach. Well-known for his work with such luminaries as Margaret Whiting, Martha Reeves, Joan Rivers, and Taylor Swift, Gerry performs weekly at NYC’s The Duplex and Don’t Tell Mama.

Provocative, poignant, hysterical, The Bronx Queen, with its electric combination of spoken word and song, packs a Bronx-style emotional punch. Gulla’s performance promises real tears from equal parts crying and laughing!
