Jubilee Theatre proudly presents the Tony Award-winning musical hit, Ain’t Misbehavin’ – The Fats Waller Musical Show, based on an idea by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby, Jr. Directed by the Black Rep’s Ron Himes, this vibrant musical revue runs July 11 through August 10.
“The joint is jumping!” The Harlem Renaissance was the Golden Age for venues like The Cotton Club and The Savoy Ballroom; a time when the dives along Lenox Avenue were ablaze from stride piano players banging out a new beat – swing. Ain’t Misbehavin’ is a vibrant musical revue and tribute to the black musicians of the early 1900s that centers on the music of one of the most prolific musicians of the time, Thomas “Fats” Waller. Bold, bright, and told with the cheeky humor for which Fats Waller was known, this Tony Award winning musical has become a classic of African-American theatre that is sure to bring the house down and keep you singing, and swinging, into the streets.
A talkback with the artists is scheduled after the July 13 and July 24 performances.
