Lisbon and New York, December 29, 2025 – Cinema São Jorge will host a historic event! Tribeca Festival Lisboa and Ageas proudly present, for the first time in Portugal, the acclaimed “A Bronx Tale: One Man Show”, written and performed by Chazz Palminteri – a U.S. sensation voted Best Show of the Year in Las Vegas.
Following the success of the film’s debut at the first Tribeca Festival Lisboa, Palminteri brings back the original version that sparked a worldwide phenomenon. A true, intense, and emotional story that captivated Hollywood and Broadway. Born and raised in the Bronx, Chazz Palminteri wrote “A Bronx Tale” in 1988 – a powerful autobiographical play depicting his tough childhood, including witnessing a mafia-related murder at the age of nine. On stage, Palminteri embodies 18 characters, bringing friends, foes, and family to life in a unique and gripping performance.
International critics agree:
- “Voted Best Show in Las Vegas” — Las Vegas Journal
- “Brilliant! Extraordinary!” — New York Post
- “A true and moving story.” — The New York Times
Palminteri’s refusal to sell his story without playing the lead role led to a historic partnership with Robert De Niro, resulting in a hit film adaptation and later a successful Broadway musical. Palminteri became the first artist to write, star in, and adapt the same story for stage, screen, and musical theater.
With over 60 films to his credit – including The Usual Suspects, Bullets Over Broadway (Oscar nomination and Independent Spirit Award winner), Analyze This, and Faithful – Chazz Palminteri is a global icon in the performing arts.
“A Bronx Tale: One Man Show” arrives in Lisbon on June 10, 2026, for a one-night-only performance that promises to move and inspire Portuguese audiences with a story of courage, authenticity, and resilience. Don’t miss the chance to experience the show that has marked generations and continues to inspire millions. Tickets now available at tribecalisboa.pt
