Ain’t Misbehavin’ will have you tappin’ your toes and movin’ to the swingin’ beat!
The inimitable Thomas "Fats" Waller rose to international fame with a jumpin' new beat, swing music. His career ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood and concert stages. Ain't Misbehavin' evokes the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts, strums, and sings the songs that he made famous. Winner of the 1978 Tony Award® for Best Musical, this musical revue is a sassy, sultry celebration of the music and spirit of legendary jazz great, Fats Waller.
Music by Thomas "Fats" Waller. Conceived by Richard Maltby, Jr. and Murray Horwitz. Lyrics by Various.
Directed and Choreographed by Donald Jones, Jr.
