Musical Information: “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.
Performance Information: Ain’t Misbehain’ previews July 11, 12, 13, and 17; the show opens July 18; and the show runs July 19 through August 10, 2008. -- www.jubileetheatre.org
