Venetian Las Vegas presents A Bronx Tale with actor Chazz Palminteri, an Academy Award nominated actor. A Bronx Tale at The Venetian Showrooms runs from Oct. 7-18. Palminteri has enjoyed a successful run on Broadway and touring A BRONX TALE across the country to rave reviews. Las Vegas will be able to enjoy this show for the first time in October.

First mounted off-Broadway in 1989, A BRONX TALE is a funny and touching memoir written by and starring Chazz Palminteri. In the celebrated play on which he based the legendary movie, directed by and co-starring Robert De Niro, Palminteri brings 18 characters to life while vividly depicting a young boy’s rough childhood in the 1960’s-era Bronx and the unforgettable people he encountered. A classic coming-of-age story about reaching your true potential and trusting your heart, A BRONX TALE is directed by four-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Zaks and produced by GO Productions, LLC, a Las Vegas based production company.

“A BRONX TALE is one of those stories that just grabs you from the start and places you right in the world Chazz Palminteri grew up in during the 1960’s,” stated Jason Gastwirth, corporate vice president of entertainment for Las Vegas Sands Corp. “Chazz brilliantly evokes a bygone area of hustlers, goodfellas and charismatic mob bosses who ruled their neighborhood with both compassion and ruthlessness. We continually strive to provide a broad spectrum of entertainment options for our guests and believe A BRONX TALE is a truly one-of-a-kind show with an actor of remarkable talent that will be right at home among our extraordinary entertainment lineup at The Venetian and The Palazzo including Phantom-The Las Vegas Spectacular, Wayne Brady, Blue Man Group and Jersey Boys.”
