BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Many of us remember Tony Danza, the actor. He co-starred in the hit television series, Taxi, and Who’s the Boss? Danza also appeared in such films as Angels in the Outfield, Cannonball II, The Hollywood Knights, Going Ape, She’s Out of Control and Don Juan.

However, Danza will be bringing a different kind of talent to the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando on Friday, November 13, 2026. The Tony Danza: Standards & Stories show will feature Danza like you’ve never seen him before.

Pre-show publicity puts it this way, “Combining timeless music with wit, charm, storytelling, and a dash of soft shoe and ukulele performances, Danza performs a selection of his favorite standards from the Great American Songbook while interweaving stories about his life and personal connection to the music.”

I have heard Danza sing, and to me, his voice is a cross between Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett. He is that good!

And, Danza’s acting career is not over. He will be starring along with Mario Lopez in a Christmas movie entitled, Three Generations, One Christmas. The movie will stream on Great American Pure Flix, November 19, and airs on Great American Family and GFAM+, November 21, at 8 p.m.
