"Hang up your hangups, leave your inhibitions at the door and take part." - The New York Times review of Ain't Misbehavin'

In honor of Black History Month, come celebrate a giant of the Jazz Age with one of the most popular, well-crafted musical revues of all time: Ain’t Misbehavin’ (Tony Award winner - Best Musical).

The inimitable Fats Waller rose to international fame during the Golden Age of Harlem’s Cotton Club. Ain't Misbehavin' evokes the delightful humor & infectious energy of this American original, as a versatile cast struts, strums & sings the songs he made famous.
