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, Entertaining, Sometimes slow, Refreshing

See it if Some of the storys hit home for me. Growing up in a Sicilian family was funny. A little slow at time but that OK. I enjoy seeing this show

Don't see it if One man show, none thing fancy on stage. Is a little slow but OK.

Entertaining, Sincere, Slow, Funny, Ambitious

See it if You want a heart-felt solo show about growing up with a Sicilian family: he cares about the stories & it shows. You want to be entertained.

Don't see it if You want a play that connects stories smoothly: the transitions can be abrupt & awkward. You want a more developed show:it needs some work. Read more

Clever, Entertaining, Resonant, Overrated, Indulgent

See it if You like anecdotes about one man's family.

Don't see it if You expect some trenchant comedy ir insight.

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

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

Cliched, Slow, Entertaining, Disappointing, Indulgent

See it if you enjoy one man shows that aren't too ambitious and are made up of somewhat entertaining stories of growing-up Sicilian.

Don't see it if you want an evening of stories that are utterly entertaining, with a strong performance and excellent writing.

Entertaining, Funny, Heart warming, Slow

See it if Although the actor is very likeable this prod. has a total a stand up vibe.Overall a heartwarming funny & slow at times story.

Don't see it if Staging that needs revision bothers you. Hopefully the actor will stop sipping the coffee & the pacing changes into something pleasant.
