In 1960s New York, young Italian-American Calogero is torn between the values of his hardworking bus-driver father Lorenzo and the seductive world of local mob boss Sonny, who takes the boy under his wing. As racial tensions escalate in the changing Bronx neighborhood and Calogero falls for an African-American girl, he must choose which man's example to follow and what kind of man he wants to become.

A Bronx Tale is a musical based on the play by the same name with a book by Chazz Palminteri, music by Alan Menken, and lyrics by Glenn Slater. After a ten-year development process, the original one man show was adapted into a new musical and premiered at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, New Jersey on February 4, 2016, before opening on Broadway December 1 later that year. The original Broadway production was co-directed by Robert De Niro, who had directed the original film, and Jerry Zaks, who had directed the one man show on Broadway in 2007. The show also features choreography by Sergio Trujillo. Tommy Mottola serves as the production's leading producer.
