S.Wright1 hr ago
Alyssa Milano and Tony Danza 's Who's the Boss? bond is still strong after four decades.

Just days after the 40th anniversary of the ABC sitcom's premiere, the on-screen daughter and father reunited at Danza's "Sinatra and Stories" show at the Carlyle Cafe in Manhattan.

"My forever TV Dad," Milano wrote in an Instagram post on Sunday. "I got to see him last week perform his show at Cafe Carlyle. He sang, played his uke, and danced. And damn... I'm so blessed to witness the joy that emanates off him when he performs." Milano signed off, "Love you, T."

Danza responded in kind with his own post , sharing an edited version of the same set of pictures with the caption, "My forever [TV] daughter. Love you [Alyssa Milano] and thank you for coming to my show. Can't wait to see you in [Chicago] on Broadway!!!!!"

Who's the Boss starred Danza as Tony Micelli, a retired Major League Baseball player who takes a job as an executive assistant to a high-powered executive ( Judith Light ) to provide a better, more stable life for his young daughter (Milano). Both Danza and Milano went on to appear in numerous subsequent hits on the small and large screen after Who's the Boss? took its final bow in 1992.

A veteran of the stage as well, Danza has appeared in plays and musicals like A View From the Bridge and The Producers. He's currently channeling his theatrical chops every week at the Cafe Carlyle, where "Sinatra & Stories" sees him sing (with the backing of a four-piece band), tap-dance, play the ukulele, and regale attendees with stories of his lifelong love of Ol' Blue Eyes.

He was recently joined on the New York theater scene, as he indicated in his Instagram post, by Milano, who is appearing in the Ambassador Theater's production of Chicago as the ingenue Roxie Hart through November.

"I was so blessed to grow up on Who's the Boss? and have Judith," she said, citing two other Who's the Boss? parental figures as inspiration when getting into the role, in an interview with ABC7 New York . "She's so brilliant. It is mind-boggling. So to have that professionalism to emulate was, yeah. So beneficial."

Milano also named "Katherine Helmond, may she rest in peace," as an inspiration. Helmond played Mona Robinson, Angela's frank, free-spirited mother, Mona, on Who's the Boss? Helmond died in 2019 as a result of complications from Alzheimer's disease at the age of 89.

Milano and Danza previously reunited in 2022 at another of Danza's live shows in Los Angeles. She was joined by Boss costars Danny Pintauro and Rhoda Gemignani. Under that post Milano wrote, "getting closer. If you know what I mean," in reference to a possible Who's the Boss? revival series that Milano said was in talks.

"We actually submitted a script last week to FreeVee," she told the hosts of The View in November 2022, "which is the network that picked it up, and we're waiting to hear if we're greenlit to go to series. So, we are very close."
