Buddy Ciani, The Musical:
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.
