Beloved TV and Broadway Star Tony Danza Comes to The Ridgefield Playhouse with Standards and Stories on October 27

Best known for his starring roles on two of television’s most cherished and long-running series, “Taxi” and “Who’s The Boss,” Tony Danza has also established himself as a song and dance man. Tony Danza: Standards and Stories comes to The Ridgefield Playhouse on Saturday, October 27th at 7:30pm, part of the Ridgefield Magazine Broadway & Cabaret Series. The New York Times raves “Tony’s a live wire who tap-dances, plays the ukulele, tells stories and radiates irresistible charm… He exudes the kind of charisma that can’t be taught!”  Media sponsor for this wonderful night of song and dance is WICC.

Combining timeless music with wit, charm, storytelling, and a dash of soft shoe and ukulele performance, Danza is accompanied by his talented four-piece band. Danza performs some of his favorite standards from the Great American Songbook, as well as selections from the hit Broadway musical Honeymoon in Vegas (which he also starred in), while interweaving stories about his life and personal connection to the music. Danza recently received rave reviews for his performance in Honeymoon In Vegas, with the New York Times calling his performance “sly genius,” and a “career high”.  Among his past successes, Danza has starred on Broadway in The Producers, A View from the Bridge, and in beloved films such as Angels In the Outfield, She’s Out of Control, and Hollywood Knights.

Danza is currently starring in “The Good Cop” for Netflix. Written by the creator of “Monk,” the show marks Danza’s much buzzed about and anticipated return to television. Danza plays a street smart, rule-breaking, ex-NYC cop and father to a straight-laced, rule-following cop, played by Josh Groban. The series will premiere in the Fall on Netflix.
