The audience erupted with applause whenever they saw some of their own personal favorite Middle Village landmarks. In order to get a more in-depth look at how growing up in Middle Village shaped the town’s residents, Madison interviewed locals including actor Ray Abruzzo, who notably played Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. on the HBO drama “The Sopranos,” and Leslie Barnes, owner of the popular seafood restaurant London Lennie’s, which has been a staple in the neighborhood for 55 years. “Middle Village” allowed the audience to take a look back at their neighborhood and see how much it has changed over the years, but also how it has remained the same, continuing to be a safe, family orientated community where neighbors are family and a true sense of community fills the hearts of its residents. Judging by the crowd’s reaction, Madison proved the movie’s tagline right: You can go home again.
