The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930s Harlem
lives on in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that is
still considered one of Broadway’s best.
The inimitable Thomas “Fats” Waller rose to international fame during
the Golden Age of the Cotton Club, honky tonk dives along Lenox Avenue,
rent parties, stride piano players and that jumpin’ new beat, Swing.
Although not quite a biography, AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ evokes the delightful
humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile
cast struts, strums and sings the songs he made famous in a career that
ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood and
concert stages in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
It has been 30 years since AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' first appeared on
Broadway, assembled under the expert eye of director/lyricist Richard
Maltby, Jr. AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ is one of the most popular, well-crafted
revues of all time – sometimes sassy, sometimes sultry, with moments of
devastating beauty. AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ is simply unforgettable.
