Chazz Palminteri

I wondered why Chazz PalminteriÕs ÒA Bronx TaleÓ was suddenly booked into the Venetian Showroom for a limited run this month.

By Cris D’Annunzio - http://www.cdannunzio.com/blog/ Chazz Palminteri is currently performing his terrific one-man show, “A Bronx Tale”, at the Venetian in Las Vegas.
