THE SHOW
The Tony Starlight Show is a love letter to the bygone days of live stage entertainment. Inspired by Darin at The Landmark, Sammy at The Cocoanut Grove, Dino at The Sands, Ricky Ricardo at the Copacabana, and Don Rickles at Caesars Palace. Tony believes in putting the show back into "Show Business." Backed by a jazz trio, Tony performs swinging jazz standards, parody songs like "The Girl With Emphysema" and "The Brady Is A Champ", impressions, stand-up and other comedy routines. The TS Show has several costume changes and often includes special guest stars, just like the real variety shows of yesteryear. Tony loves what he does and it shows.
