SEE IF YOU CAN SIT STILL THROUGH THIS ONE . . .

After opening on Broadway in 1978, Ain’t Misbehavin’ made Tony history by winning Best Featured Actress for the late Nell Carter, Best Director for Richard Maltby, Jr. and Best Musical.  Extraordinary for its sheer exhuberance, Ain’t Misbehavin’ encompasses 30 show-stopping musical numbers that take you on a journey not only through the Fats Waller song book, but through Harlem in its heyday.  With snazzy period costumes, complete with bowlers and spats and ermine and pears, the dynamic five member cast and six piece band turn the theatre into a rollicking rent party.  The joint is jumpin from start to finish with Waller classics like Honeysuckle Rose and Squeeze Me, the hilariously naughty Your Feets Too Big and That Ain’t Right.  Ain’t Misbehavin’ is a fast paced romp that takes you where the high-steppers partied, from honky tonk dives to the Cotton Club, from Tin Pan Alley to the Waldorf.
