A Bronx Tale is set against the backdrop of racial strife and organized crime in the 1960s as an Italian-American teenager must choose between the father who raised him and the mob-boss father figure who fascinates him. The production, which premiered in February at Paper Mill Playhouse, opened at Broadway's Longacre Theatre on December 1.
