Tony Danza coming to the Wilson Center

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Hold me closer, Tony Danza.

The star of stage and screen will make his Wilmington debut in October when he brings his cabaret act, Standards & Stories, to the Wilson Center.

Danza will combine music with wit, charm, storytelling, soft shoe and ukulele performances, along with his four-piece band.

Danza will perform a selection of his favorite standards from the Great American Songbook, we well as selections from the Broadway musical Honeymoon in Vegas, while telling stories about his life and connection to music.

Perhaps 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, and recently received rave reviews for his performance in the Broadway musical comedy, Honeymoon In Vegas, with the New York Times calling his performance “sly genius,” and a “career high”.

Tickets go on sale Friday at 10:00 a.m. online and at 2:00 p.m. in person or by phone at Ticket Central.
