In his new live show, the TV music with humor, storytelling, singing and even playing the ukulele.

For some of us, it might be a little difficult to picture the down-to-earth Italian-American dad and cab driver as a crooner.
Tony Danza performs “Standards & Stories,” on Saturday, Nov. 22, 2025, at the Clermont Arts & Recreation Center with all proceeds going to nonprofit New Beginnings.
Well, a New York Times’ review of the cabaret-style show called Danza a “live wire who tap-dances, plays the ukulele, tells stories and radiates irresistible charm,” and Broadway World praised his voice and showmanship.
“This unforgettable night isn’t just about great entertainment — it’s about transforming lives,” said New Beginnings‘ media.
Just how did the nonprofit hook up with the TV star and his tour?
One of their donors, Dianne Garvis, who’s been active in helping children and cancer survivors in the community, helped make the connection.
Garvis got a hold of Danza’s manager and made the introductions.
“She was able to talk about New beginnings and what we’re doing, said New Beginnings’ Community Relations Manager Jeremy Elliott, “and he waived part of his fee to support us.”
All proceeds from the event will go to Lake County-based organization that helps individuals rebuild their lives.
