By: Faetra Petillo Sep. 10, 2008
A BRONX TALE, the memoir written and starring Academy Award®-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri, will play a limited engagement of 16 performances only at the Wadsworth Theatre from September 9 to September 21 (press opening is Wednesday, September 10). A BRONX TALE is produced by GO Productions and presented in Los Angeles by RICHMARK Entertainment. Academy Award®-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri returns to the stage in an unforgettable performance fresh from a successful run on Broadway, where it was praised by the critics and adored by the public.
In A BRONX TALE, the celebrated play on which he based the legendary movie, Palminteri vividly depicts a young boy's rough childhood in the 1960s-era Bronx and the unforgettable people he encountered. A classic coming-of-age story about reaching your true potential and trusting your heart, A BRONX TALE is directed by four-time Tony Award®-winner Jerry Zaks. A BRONX TALE was first mounted off Broadway in 1989 and helped establish Palminteri as a writer and actor with a distinct voice. In A BRONX TALE, Palminteri brings 18 characters to vivid life, depicting a rough childhood on Bronx streets populated by a cast of friends and enemies. This production of A BRONX TALE directed by Tony Award-winner Jerry Zaks opened on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre quickly becoming one of the few bona-fide hits of the 2007-2008 Broadway season.
Tickets for A BRONX TALE will range in price from $40 to $78; premium seating is also available. Tickets are available at the Wadsworth/Brentwood Main Box Office, 11301 Wilshire Blvd. Tickets can also be purchased through Ticketmaster - online at ticketmaster.com, by phone at Ticketmaster at 213-365-3500, and all Ticketmaster outlets.
