Synopsis & 411:
A BRONX TALE – Broadway’s hit crowd-pleaser takes you to the stoops of the Bronx in the 1960s, where a young man is caught between the father he loves and the mob boss he’d love to be. Bursting with high, energy dance numbers and original doo-wop tunes from Alan Menken, the songwriter of Beauty and the Beast, A BRONX TALE is an unforgettable story of loyalty and family. Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro and Tony® winner Jerry Zaks direct this streetwise musical, based on Academy Award nominee Chazz Palminteri’s story, that The New York Times hailed as “A Critics’ Pick! The kind of tale that makes you laugh and cry.”
Featuring 10 alumni from the Broadway production, the cast is led by Joe Barbara as Sonny, Richard H. Blake as Lorenzo, Joey Barreiro as Calogero, Michelle Aravena as Rosina, Brianna-Marie Bell as Jane, Antonio Beverly as Tyrone, Frankie Leoni as Young Calogero, and Shane Pry as Young Calogero Alternate.
I remember researching serial killer Ted Bundy for undergrad. And what came up time and time again was that so many people found him “handsome” and “nice”. Zac Efron plays with these ideas and in the new trailer for Vile we get to see hints at the depravity within Bundy’s soul. Based on the book The Phantom Prince; My Life with Ted Bundy by Elizabeth Kendall, Vile looks like it’s gonna give excellent creep.
