Casting has just been announced for “A Bronx Tale,” the hit Broadway musical that will be making a stop at Segerstrom Center for the Arts March 10-22.
2015 American Idol winner Nick Fradiani will play Lorenzo, with Jeff Brooks as Sonny, Alec Nevin as Calogero, Kayla Jenerson as Jane, Stefanie Londino as Rosina and George Vickers V as Tyrone. Anthony Cipolla and Trey Murphy will play Young Calogero.
“A Bronx Tale” premiered at the Tony Award-winning Paper Mill Playhouse to critical and popular acclaim in Spring 2-16. “A Bronx Tale” opened on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre on Dec. 1, 2016, following preview from November 3. The show ended its Broadway run on Aug. 5, 2018, having played 700 performances and as the second longest running show in the history of the Longacre Theatre.
Based on the one-man show that inspired the now classic film, this streetwise musical takes audiences 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. Featuring an original doo-wop score, this is a tale about respect, loyalty, love, and above all else, family.
“A Bronx Tale” is based on the original direction by two-time Oscar winner Robert De Niro and four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks.
