Johnny Boy is an affectionate 'snapshot' of a simpler, more tranquil
time in the life of the city we've all come to cherish, New York, as seen through the
eyes of a 1950's middle-class Jewish family. A funny and touching Neil Simon-esque play
about two teenage brothers coming of age during the summer of the historic 1955 Yankees
vs. Dodgers World Series.
The cast of characters, in alphabetical order, included Rami Malek, Stephanie Venditto,
Barbara Gruen, Richard Alan Brown, J. David Krassner and Tania Raymonde. TV and Broadway star Tony Danza
took over the role of 'Lee' during its two-week extension from May 12-23.
Falcon Theatre is located at 4252 Riverside Drive
in Burbank. Directions
