Local Events

Tony Danza: Standards & Stories Special homecoming event Saturday, October 22, 8:00 p.m. UD Heritage Center 2255 Bennett Street, Dubuque, IA

“Homecoming” doesn’t seem to suffice for an event like this one. Celebrating his 50th class reunion at the University of Dubuque, Tony Danza makes his remarkable return! The New York Times raves, “Tony’s a live wire who tap-dances, plays the ukulele, tells stories and radiates irresistible charm. He exudes the kind of charisma that can’t be taught!” Well, at UD, we like to think that he learned it somewhere! He and his four-piece band com- bine timeless music with wit, charm, storytelling, and a dash of soft shoe and ukulele per- formances. 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. Your Connections Club price is just $47 per person, due at reservation.
