The Emporia-Greensville area's Meherrin River Arts Council (MRAC) 2023 concert series continued this past Saturday night at the Emporia Greensville Performing Arts Center, located at the Greensville Elementary School with Tony Danza..

Tony Danza and his four-piece band performed their hit live show, Standards & Stories. Combining timeless music with wit, charm, storytelling, and a dash of soft shoe and ukulele performances, Danza performed 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 worlds 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, Tony has also starred in hit films such as Angels In Outfield, She’s Out of Control, Hollywood Knights, and Don Jon. Well established as a song and dance man, Tony 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, with the New York Times calling his performance “sly genius,” and a “career high”. 

The next concert on the MRAC 2023 series is March 25th with multi-platinum entertainer Sara Evans.
