Ain't Misbehavin'


Ain't Misbehavin'
March 13 - April 18, 2010
music by Thomas “Fats” Waller
based on an idea by Murray Horwitz & Richard Maltby, Jr.
directed by Kent Gash

The joint is jumpin’ to the music of Thomas “Fats” Waller in this Tony® Award-winning musical revue. Five phenomenal artists and a jumpin’ jazz band take you through the pain and triumphs of the African-American experience during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 30s. It was the Golden Age of Jazz with places like the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom where snappy swing music, snazzy jazz and the stride piano infused the energy of the country.

Life and love are song and dance in this sexy, funny, jazzy musical featuring the seminal Fats Waller tunes: “Honeysuckle Rose,” “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” “Black & Blue,” “The Joint is Jumpin’” and “I’ve Got a Feeling I’m Falling.”

Approx. Performance Run Time: 2 hours, with one 15 minute intermission.
