A Bronx tale opens this week in Cleveland. I know it's about the mob so there will be violence. I was wondering if they use actual gun shots and when the sounds go off...I would really like to be prepared. thank you :)

I believe there are gunshots in the opening scene or shortly thereafter. There is a loud noise in Act Two

It seems that there are videos of the full show online. (Since they are bootleg, I won't post any links or say the specific sites. But, there is at least one that's pretty easy to find on a prominent video streaming site.) It seems like there are, at least, 2 prominent shots in the first scene.

As somone who, himself, gets rather anxious about gunshots/loud fireworks in shows, I wish you well. (I've, recently, been trying to get info about fireworks in Beetjuice, myself.) Hopefully, you can get the info that you need, so that you CAN see the show & enjoy it. 


P.S. - My apologies to the board administrators if it's improper to refer someone to any form of bootleg video. I'm merely trying to help her prepare for what will, hopefully, be a legit trip to the show. For me, such information would make me more inclinded to see a show like A Bronx Tale.

In addition to the first scene, there is also a gunshot towards the end of Act 2 that seemingly comes out of nowhere.

In the first scene when people start physically fighting there will be gunshots. And near the end during a party scene there will be a surprise gunshot.

Saw the show here in Chicago. I didn't get scared. But hey, I'm from Chicago, we're tough cookies.

Thanks everyone for all the help. I saw the show on Saturday and it was ok. Act 1 was far better than act 2. Prolly one I wouldn't see again. Not a fan of the gun shots. Thanks
