The Big Apple lights up the stage this week in A Bronx Tale, a story about a father, a son and the overwhelming temptations of joining organized crime. Calogero’s just your typical nine-year-old Italian American, living it up in 1960s New York City. His pop’s a hardworking guy, and things are going pretty swell until mob boss Sonny befriends the kid. Will Calogero leave his family for the thrill of rolling dice on the street? What will become of Calogero’s dad? All this and more will be revealed through the powerful medium of song and dance.
