Chazz Palminteri A Bronx Tale
03.14.22
When you saw the movie or musical version of A Bronx Tale, did you know that someone wrote it about their own life? Or that it started as a one-man play?
Chazz Palminteri himself is bringing the play that started it all to the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall on April 2 at 8 p.m.
Chazz Palminteri’s legendary writing in A Bronx Tale catapulted the story of his childhood onto the big screen, detailing the tough area of the Bronx he grew up in and his involvement with the Mafia. After its leader took him under his wing, Palminteri grew more deeply entwined in the mob over the course of several years and experienced the harrowing streets of New York as he’d never imagined.
In recounting his life, Chazz Palminteri highlights his gripping narrative through masterful storytelling that will create an unforgettable evening. You won’t want to miss this legendary performer on our stage, so get your tickets today!
Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall Tickets start at $39, at scfta.org.
600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa. 714.556.2787.
