When you go to see a new show, you never are quite sure of what you will get or how you will react to it. But sometimes you get that one that causes you to pause in amazement at what you just experienced. It’s that moment when the story, the acting, and the music all come together and produce something really wonderful. That is happening at the
Paper Mill Playhouse with its newest production,
A Bronx Tale: The Musical. This show has that great story, fabulous acting, and a musical score that has you humming and tapping your feet as you leave.
