FEATURED REVIEWS FOR A Bronx Tale: The Musical

Review: ‘A Bronx Tale’ Explores the Struggle for a Boy’s Soul
7 / 10

Sometimes plain old pasta with red sauce is just what the doctor ordered. 'A Bronx Tale,' which opened at the Longacre Theater on Broadway on Thursday, might be called the musical-theater equivalent of that classic comfort food. It doesn't break ground or dazzle with an unusual recipe - like, say, mixing rap and American history - but it delivers reliable pleasures with polished professionalism and infectious energy.

‘A Bronx Tale’ review: Broadway musical an entertaining crowd-pleaser
8 / 10

The characters are simple, the storytelling is derivative of better-known musicals ('West Side Story,' 'Jersey Boys') and the tone is excessively sentimental and solemn. But 'A Bronx Tale,' the new Broadway musical based upon actor-writer Chazz Palminteri's coming of age in an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx of the 1960s, is nevertheless an entertaining crowd-pleaser and a poignant piece of theater. If it works, it works.
