Ain’t Misbehavin’: The Fats Waller Musical Show

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.
