Review of touring "A Bronx Tale" at Playhouse Square
by Bob Abelman 26 Apr '19

26 Apr '19

Touring ‘A Bronx Tale’ a crowd-pleasing, color-by-number musical Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Advertising for “A Bronx Tale” claims that the show is “‘Jersey Boys’ meets ‘West Side Story’.” The implication is that the show shares these mega-musicals’ status in addition to their time period (late-1950s/early-1960s), terrain (a tough Italian-American neighborhood in New York/New Jersey) and temperament (romanticized realism, where hoodlums harmonize). But, mostly, it calls attention to “A Bronx Tale’s” astounding lack of originality. For more of this article, go to www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/bob_abelman/

Father breathes life into his children, Adam and Eve, and learns that the hardest part of being a loving Father is letting go. It’s a lesson that translates into the parenting of Cain, Abel, and Seth -- and is reiterated once again as Noah parents his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. This joyous and inspiring musical celebrates the difficulty of choice, the importance of passion, the value of questioning, and the pain in allowing those you love to take risks and face the consequences.
