His tux fits perfectly, sleeves just the right length so you can see the cuff links. Tony Danza is a guy with a personality and musical ability that wins you over from the first note he sings.  Then he tells his stories and his jokes, which make you feel you would like to spend a week with him.  That's a Tony Danza cabaret show, or to use a more authentic word, 'night club act'.
