The bullet is heading uptown (and with a camera)! Ariana DeBose, who is going from Hamilton’s dancing bullet to A Bronx Tale this fall, is Broadway.com’s newest vlogger. Be on the lookout for Bronx Bullet: Backstage at A Bronx Tale with Ariana DeBose.
In the new musical, DeBose plays Jane, a girl in the Bronx who agrees to a date with Calogero, an Italian-American teenager swept up in the mob. The high level of racial tension and dislike between Italian Americans and African Americans in the neighborhood causes drama to ensue. Expect vlog cameos from her co-stars, including Richard H. Blake, Nick Cordero and newcomer Bobby Conte Thornton.
Prior to Hamilton, DeBose appeared on Broadway in Pippin, Motown and Bring It On.
Bronx Bullet will launch on September 29 and run every Thursday for eight weeks.
