About the Show

Actor/writer Nick Albanese shares his comic and heartwarming true tales of growing up Sicilian in America.

In 'The Last Sicilian,' Albanese regales audiences with a sampling of the kind of stories that have been passed down over raucous family dinner tables year after year. You'll hear stories about his childhood years spent in his family's bakery, and learn how generations of his relatives met, married, and overcame challenges to come to America. 'The Last Sicilian' features some Sicilian history as well, and explores how Sicilians met prejudice when they first arrived in the States.

Funny, Thought-provoking, Delightful, Stories from the heart, Sentiments from the soul

See it if U want to see a charming actor/writer in a GOOD solo comedy show that echoes heart & soul sentiments about being of Sicilian heritage & MORE

Don't see it if U are adverse to solo acts. U want grand Bway sets. This show is funny but has big range & this actor is engaging & likeable. Go see at once Read more

Absorbing, Entertaining, Funny, Hilarious, Riveting

See it if You love family humor and being able to relate to the old days

Don't see it if You are not found of old Italian Family humor

Delightful, Entertaining, Nostalgic, Relevant, Feel good

See it if You enjoy hearing nostalgic family stories. You don’t have to be Sicilian to love this!

Don't see it if You have no patience for one man shows without a defined plot and no scenery or great staging. Read more

Relatable, Absorbing, Great writing, Thought-provoking, Entertaining

See it if You enjoy solo shows & are interested in a story about growing in an immigrant Italian family. There's something relatable for everyone.

Don't see it if You don't like intimate theatre. This one is very homey-even gives free snacks! This was terrific, but he could have skipped the cat's death

Warm and sweet like nonna's sunday sauce

See it if You enjoy stories about Italian-American culture and ethnic traditions.

Don't see it if You need huge production value or multiple actors..essentially a one man show relaying stories about his (slightly crazy) Italian Family

Entertaining, Heart warming, Nostalgic, Funny, Charming

See it if Sweet, heartwarming and at times humorous one man show about his childhood and family background. Entertaining stories of a colorful family

Don't see it if Don’t like one man shows; intimate shows. Read more

Clever, Funny, Refreshing, Entertaining

See it if You like one man shows that tell as story and are seeped in family history

Don't see it if you are looking for a big opulent production

Warm-hearted one-man autobiographical play about growing up sicilian in rhode island. it lacked a dramatic pull but was entertaining.

See it if You can't see it. It closed but the writer is working on some web series projects.

Don't see it if You'd rather see a full fleshed play with multiple characters and actors.
