A Bronx Tale – The One Man Show starring Chazz Palminteri

Bronx-born and raised Chazz Palminteri wrote A Bronx Tale in 1988. The powerful one-man stage play depicted his bruising childhood which included witnessing a ganglandkilling when he was nine years old. Palminteri played 18 characters and brought the mall to life in his autobiographical play. His friends, enemies and family came alive onstage. Hollywood Studios went crazy after seeing it and offered him millions of dollars toturn it into a major movie. There was one catch… They wanted to put a star in the role of Sonny and someone else to write the screenplay. With $200 dollars in the bank…Palminteri said No… he would hold out and wait. He wanted to play Sonny and write the screenplay. Then one night Palminteri walked into his dressing room and sitting there was Robert De Niro who just saw the show. Robert DeNiro gave Palminterithe chance he was waiting for… And as they say in Hollywood the rest is history.

Palminteri wrote the screenplay for the film A Bronx Tale and then most recently wrote the book for the Broadway Musical. It was the first time in history that the same actor wrote the one-man play, the movie, and the Broadway Musical and starred in each one.

In the past 35 years, Chazz has appeared in over 60 films. To name a few-The Usual Suspects, Analyze This, Mulholland Falls, Jade, Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, Legend, and Bullets over Broadway, which he was nominated for an Academy Award.He has starred in over 20 television series and has won 3 Emmy’s. Chazz is mostrecently seen in Modern Family, Godfather of Harlem, Law & Order and Gravesend.
