A-Bronx-Tale---Behind-The-Scenes.Pdf FINDING THE MORAL RUDDER TO NAVIGATE LIFE IS NEVER EASY WHEN YOU’RE YOUNG. THIS IS A BRONX TALE, AND IT’S 1968. CHAZZ PALMINTERI TELLS THE TALE BEHIND THE TALE IN 1960 IN THE BELMONT AVENUE SECTION OF THE BRONX, I was sitting on my front stoop on 187th Street. A car started backing into a parking space and another car tried to sneak in behind him. One man jumped out of a car with a baseball bat, and a fight broke out. Another man came over to protect his friend, pulled out a gun, and shot the man with the bat. I was maybe ten feet from them. The man stared at me and we were bonded for life. In the days following I got to know the man who pulled the trigger, and I became his friend. How was I to know that this incident would shape my life forever? This was the beginning of A Bronx Tale. “I HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. WITH BOB, I HAVE THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE MOVIE. HE IS VERY ARTICULATE WITH THE WAY CERTAIN THINGS LOOK AND WHERE THE TRUTH IS IN THE CHARACTERS. JERRY IS THE REAL MUSICAL-COMEDY GUY. HE KNOWS STAGE MOVEMENT AND ALL THE NUTS-AND-BOLTS STUFF.” CHAZZ PALMINTERI, BOOK “YOU CAN’T HAVE TWO CONDUCTORS CONDUCTING THE ORCHESTRA AT THE SAME TIME—IT WILL DRIVE PEOPLE CRAZY. BUT YOU CAN HAVE TWO CONDUCTORS DISCUSSING WHAT THEY’VE SEEN AND IMPLEMENTING IT IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. WE’VE WORKED OUT A PRETTY GOOD SYSTEM. WE EACH BRING DIFFERENT STRENGTHS TO THE UNDERTAKING.” JERRY ZAKS, CO-DIRECTOR I grew up in a tough area of the Bronx and it gave me, young Calogero (my given name), the life lessons that would later prove very useful to my career. I originally wrote the script for the stage and performed it as a one-man show in Los Angeles and New York. One night Robert De Niro walked into the theater to see the show, and as they say, the rest is history. “WE HAVE A HARMONY HERE THAT CAN’T BE TAMPERED WITH. ” ROBERT DE NIRO, CO-DIRECTOR “THIS MOVIE HAS SO MANY CLASSIC LINES AND MOMENTS EVERYONE KNOWS AND LOVES. IN A TRADITIONAL MUSICAL, THEY’D FEEL LIKE ANECDOTES THAT MIGHT NOT END UP BEING USED, BUT IN A STORY THAT’S ESSENTIALLY A SERIES OF ANECDOTES, YOU NEED TO HONOR THOSE MOMENTS.” GLENN SLATER, LYRICS Alan Menken and Glenn Slater made the decision to draw our musical score from the musical colors of the early ‘60s Bronx streets, setting in motion everything that followed: the sets, the costumes, the lights, the sound, and, of course, our brilliant cast. “ THE AUDIENCE WHO COMES TO THIS SHOW JUST LOVES THE STORY AND THAT ERA, AND WANTS TO BE TAKEN ON A JOURNEY. OUR JOB IN A WAY IS TO BE INVISIBLE AND SUPPORT THE VISION.” ALAN MENKEN, COMPOSER “IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE AUTHENTIC AND THAT’S WHAT BOBBY BROUGHT TO THE TABLE. HE WANTED TO PERFORM THE STORY FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE ALIVE AT THE TIME, AND FOR PEOPLE WHO STILL LIVE THERE. IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR HIM THAT AUDIENCES DIDN’T SEE A ‘SACCHARINIZED’ VERSION.” NICK CORDERO, SONNY The story of A Bronx Tale still resonates all over the world. I think it is because it is a story about family. A Bronx Tale was never meant to be a gangster story. It is a family story about my father Lorenzo, the bus driver, and my mother Rosina, and how they kept me on path to make the right choices in life. “ THE STORY IS ABOUT THIS KID WHO GROWS UP IN A VERY INSULAR NEIGHBORHOOD. “CHAZZ PALMINTERI AND ROBERT DE NIRO EVEN THOUGH IT’S IN NEW YORK CITY, IT’S LIKE A SMALL TOWN. WERE VERY MUCH INVOLVED WITH EVERYTHING. THERE’S SOME LOVELY THINGS ABOUT THAT.” THEY WERE VERY SPECIFIC. WE NEEDED TO REALLY FIND THAT NEIGHBORHOOD.” BEOWULF BORITT, SET DESIGN WILLIAM IVEY LONG, COSTUME DESIGN It was my father who used to say to me every day: “THE SADDEST THING IN LIFE IS WASTED TALENT. DON’T WASTE YOURS, SON. PROMISE ME.” I am glad I kept my promise. – Chazz Palminteri THE NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS’ PICK “THE KIND OT TALE THAT MAKES YOU LAUGH AND CRY.”.

  • A Bronx Tale
    A Bronx Tale Synopsis A Bronx Tale, a new musical set in the early 1960s, is based on the autobiographical play written by Chazz Palminteri. It tells the coming-of-age story of Calogero Anello, a young boy from a working class family who finds himself caught between his loving father and a charismatic mob boss. In Act One, Calogero witnesses Sonny, the mob boss, murdering someone right in front of his house on Belmont Avenue; Calogero covers for Sonny when questioned by the NYPD. Calogero’s father, Lorenzo, who is an MTA bus driver, wants to instill a strong sense of right and wrong in his son, but Calogero goes against his father’s wishes. After Sonny is released by the police with no charges against him, he takes Calogero under his wing and helps him get involved with the “glamorous” world of organized crime. Sometime later, Calogero is all grown up and a full prodigy of Sonny, but his father has no idea he has continued to see Sonny. Calogero has also developed a group of Italian- American friends that Sonny thinks is a bad influence over him and encourages Calogero to stick to his schoolwork. Calogero meets an African-American girl, Jane, on Webster Avenue which is a very different side of the Bronx than where Calogero lives. He asks his father for advice on what he should do when he and Jane go on a date. Calogero’s father doesn’t exactly approve of him going out with Jane because he is concerned for his son’s safety, considering the high racial tensions on the time period, but Lorenzo still gives him advice.
