Chazz Palminteri: A Bronx Tale at United Theater

Chazz Palminteri is bringing A Bronx Tale to downtown Los Angeles, performing the story that made his name as a writer and actor. The show lands at The United Theater on Broadway on Friday night, November 20, and it is a strong pick if you are scanning the things to do in Los Angeles this fall and want something with a real story behind it.

When: Friday, November 20, 2026, 8:00 PM Where: The United Theater on Broadway, 929 Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Tickets: Sold through Ticketmaster, with pricing shown at checkout Ages: 5 and over, per the listing

What to expect

A Bronx Tale started as Palminteri's own one-man stage show, in which he plays every character in a coming-of-age story set in a 1960s Bronx neighborhood. A young kid is pulled between his hardworking father and the local mob boss who takes him under his wing. The story later became a film, but seeing the author tell it live is a different thing. One performer, a bare stage and a long list of voices is the whole pitch.

The listing marks the show as suitable for ages 5 and over, which is unusually open for a story about the mob. Parents should still use their own judgment about the subject matter and language, since the material comes from a gritty street-level story.

The venue

The United Theater on Broadway is one of the restored movie palaces on the Broadway strip, and it is a big, ornate room that suits a performer who fills a stage on his own. The block is part of the historic theater district, so it is easy to turn the night into a full outing with dinner nearby beforehand. If you are comparing upcoming events Los Angeles has on the calendar this season, the setting alone sets this one apart.

Getting there

Broadway in downtown LA is well served by Metro. The B and D lines stop at 7th Street/Metro Center, and from there it is a short walk or a quick ride to the theater. Parking lots around the district fill up on show nights, so book a spot ahead of time or take transit. Plan to arrive early, both to find your seats and to soak up the lobby before the lights go down.
