The biographies of some artists simply can't be told without mentioning a certain credit, so intertwined are the person and the play. You can't tell Yul Brynner's story without bringing up The King and I. Rex Harrison is forever associated with My Fair Lady. And when you think of actor Chazz Palminteri, you immediately think of A Bronx Tale.
The play, movie, and now musical—currently playing at the Longacre Theatre—is about a young, impressionable Italian-American boy growing up in the Bronx in the 1960s who is torn between the example of his law-abiding father and the flashier role model presented by local mob boss Sonny.
