BROADWAY MUSICAL

Love the show. Keep it up. . Here’s a hypothetical question for you and would love to hear your response. . You have been asked to produce a New York Broadway musical based on Cosa Nostra. . Cast members must be able to sing and represent any family from boss to capo. . Which vocalist and or actors who can sing / portray these characters. Cheers Angelo D’Amico Australia. P.S. I may be a distant relative of past Gambino member Jackie the Nose
