“The saddest thing in life is wasted talent,” but no one could accuse actor and playwright Chazz Palminteri of having squandered an ounce of it. The accomplished multihyphenate brought a revival of his one-man show, “A Bronx Tale,” to the sold-out Emerson Colonial Theater on Oct. 9. The filled seats were an excellent reminder of why “A Bronx Tale” launched Palminteri to superstardom more than thirty years ago.
Since its smash hit stage debut in 1989, “A Bronx Tale” has been adapted into both a feature film and a Broadway musical, but for the revival tour, Palminteri wanted to return to the original staging of the story: Just himself and a single chair.
