The Schultz-Hill Foundation presents its annual benefit concert, Tony Danza: Standards & Stories, on Friday, Aug. 16, at 8:30 p.m. at the Superstar Theater at Resorts Casino Hotel in Atlantic City. Proceeds from the show will fund a year-long program of music and arts education for students and seniors in greater Atlantic City.
Combining timeless music with wit, charm, storytelling, and a dash of soft shoe and ukulele performances, Danza and his four-piece band will perform a selection of his favorite standards from the Great American Songbook while interweaving stories about his life and personal connection to the music.
Danza has been one of the world’s most beloved and iconic entertainers for over 40 years. Perhaps best known for his starring roles on two of television’s most cherished and long-running series, “Taxi” and “Who’s The Boss”, he has also starred in hit films such as “Angels in the Outfield”, “She’s Out of Control”, “Hollywood Knights”, and “Don Jon”. Well-established as a song and dance man, Danza has also starred on Broadway in “The Producers”, “A View from the Bridge”, and most recently received rave reviews for his performance in the Broadway musical comedy, “Honeymoon in Vegas”. He received an Emmy nomination for his guest spot on “The Practice” and has recently made special appearances on hit shows like “Blue Bloods” and “Broad City”.
Danza most recently starred in the Hulu original film, “Darby and the Dead”; “Power Book III: Raising Kanan on Starz”; the Netflix series “The Good Cop”; “There’s Johnny” on Hulu; the animated feature, “Rumble”, for Paramount; and and “Just Like That”, the sequel to “Sex In The City”, on HBO Max. Danza also has a much-buzzed-about sequel to “Who’s the Boss” in development with Amazon’s Freevee.
