‘A Bronx Tale’ debuts in North Texas at Winspear
Chazz Palminteri’s one-man memoir show,
A Bronx Tale, became a full-length Hollywood film, and now, a splashy Broadway musical. The national tour of this surprise hit, set in a Bronx neighborhood in the 1960s, features songs from Alan Menken and Glenn Slater and a tremendous sense of nostalgia but also hope.

Lone Star Circus returns with ‘Forever’
The modern circus — more feats of skill and daring than parades of animals — isn’t just from French-speaking Canada, but closer to home as well, Once again, the home-grown Lone Star Circus returns for a theatrical presentation of juggling, acrobatics, clowns … and, well, yes, four-legged performers (of the more domestic size). It’s a welcome New Year’s tradition, this year called Forever.

Pegasus is back in black (and white) with ‘Clowning Around with Murder!’
It’s 1935, and detective Harry Hunsacker is back on the case, this time investigating a murder at clown college. This world premiere from Dallas’ Pegasus Theatre, known for its remarkable In Living Black and White style, is once again directed by Michael Serrecchia… and once again, there’s a special New Year’s Eve performance with champagne and cake after the show… and that will be in full color.
