The Brooklyn-born actor is no stranger to live performance as his website chronicles. A charismatic singer, Tony Danza has entertained audiences with his live show, “Standards & Stories,” for years. The musical program debuted in 2015 at the Café Carlyle in New York, and since then, Danza has appeared in clubs across the nation. Along with a four-piece band, he performs his favorite standards along with some soft shoe improvisation and ukulele riffs. Interspersed with the music, he tells stories that reveal his personal connection with each song.
Danza has also graced more than a few Broadway stages. He appeared in the musical comedy, “Honeymoon In Vegas,” which had a brief run in 2015. “The musical was praised by critics, but failed to catch on at the box office,” noted Playbill.
Additional credits on the Great White Way include Danza’s 1993 stage debut in “Wrong Turn at Lungfish,” a comedy by TV writer Garry Marshall and Lowell Ganz as well as two classics, Eugene O’Neill’s “The Iceman Cometh” and Arthur Miller’s “A View from the Bridge.” Danza earned an Outer Critic’s Circle Award nomination for “Wrong Turn.” These stage projects certainly prove that Danza is no two-trick TV pony, yet his professional life encompasses so much more.
