“Sopranos” fans just got an offer they can’t refuse. The Bellmore Movies & Showplace is hosting “A Night with the Sopranos” on Nov. 21 from 8-10 p.m.
The evening will feature behind-the-scenes stories as well as a Q&A session with actors Robert Funaro (Eugene Pontecorvo), Jason Cerbone (Jackie Aprile Jr.) and Dan Grimaldi (Patsy and Philly Parisi). Additionally, there will be a surprise mystery guest.
“Every character was in its own little microcosm. Everybody is funny and interesting, crazy and scary too,” Grimaldi, 79, said in a phone interview. “A lot of us knew each other before ‘The Sopranos’ because we’re all journeymen actors who had worked together.”
Funaro, 66, also in a phone interview, added: “James Gandolfini [Tony Soprano] gave the show its greatness, plus the writing talent of David Chase. James set an example for everyone of humility and grace. He brought his best and he asked us to bring our best.”
Admission is $49.99 per person. The VIP package, which includes a front-row seat, signed poster, photo plus meet and greet, runs $99.99 per person. For more information, call 516-783-7200 or visit bellmoremovie.com.
