BUDDY CIANCI: THE MUSICAL: THE NOTEBOOK
The postcard image is now available on tee shirts, a notebook, a bag, and a 2"x3" poster at the BC:TM store.



Agent Aiken, FBI (Michael Johnson) stalks Mayor Buddy (David Stern)

Everybody loved Mayor “Buddy,” except the FBI. The true story of Rhode Island’s most popular politician, six times elected, twice convicted. A modern gangster musical in neo-swing style about the man who turned Providence from The Armpit of New England into The Renaissance City.

WORLD PREMIERE WAS AUGUST AT THE NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL FRINGE FESTIVAL (FringeNYC)
