Tony Danza, 74, Gives Surprise Street Performance [VIDEO]

Tony Danza just hit NYC with the most unexpected plot twist of the week: a surprise sidewalk performance: full band, rolled-up sleeves, jazz standard and all. And no, this wasn’t some quick photo op or cheesy throwback moment. This was full-on, live music in the wild.

Who’s Singing on the Sidewalk?

In a TikTok shared by @citylivenyc, Danza was spotted singing “This Could Be the Start of Something Big” (a Steve Allen classic that’s been covered by basically everyone) right outside Manny’s Bistro on the Upper West Side. He had a jazz band behind him, a mic in hand, and not a care in the world.

The man’s 74 and still out here living his best crooner life; and we’re here for it.

That said, if you walked by and had zero clue it was Danza, you weren’t alone. With the laid back vibes that gave “cool music teacher on summer break,” he looked nothing like the fresh-faced sitcom dad from “Who’s the Boss?” or the wisecracking cabbie from “Taxi.”

Online? A whole different story. TikTok commenters were stunned. Some didn’t recognize him at first, others couldn’t believe how great his voice still is. One fan said, “Ppl getting a real treat and don’t realize it… wish I was there,” while another commented, “i would freak out!!!!!!!! that’s so cool.”

The whole thing had a, “Wait… is that Tony Danza?! THE Tony Danza?!” kind of feeling to it. Yes, bestie, it is. And he’s singing like it’s 1959 and the martinis are flowing.

He’s Been Singing for Years

Here’s the thing most people forget: Tony Danza’s not just a sitcom guy. He’s been performing onstage for years with his “Standards & Stories” show: singing, storytelling, giving full Rat Pack realness. The trumpet isn’t just for show. This dude knows jazz, and he’s clearly not ready to fade quietly into retirement.

This wasn’t a press tour, a promo gig, or even part of a big event. It was just Tony doing what he loves; in the most low-key, unbothered, sidewalk-in-Manhattan kind of way. New Yorkers mostly walked right past, because of course they did. But TikTok? Lost their minds.

It’s rare to see a celeb at this stage of life just vibing with no agenda, no filter, and definitely no glam squad. Just vibes, vocals, and a killer brass section. So next time you’re grabbing brunch on the Upper West Side and hear a smooth rendition of a jazz classic? Maybe pause for a second… it might just be Tony freakin’ Danza.
