It was a time when Lenox Avenue dives in Harlem were filled with piano players banging out the new beat known as swing. AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ is the acclaimed Broadway musical revue featuring Fats Waller music of the 1920s and 30s. Five performers present an evening of rowdy, rollicking, finger-snapping songs that capture the moods of uptown clubs and downtown Tin Pan Alley. The versatile cast struts and sings the songs that encapsulate the various moods of the era and reflect Waller's view of life as a journey meant for pleasure and play.
The running time of the production is approximately 2 hours 10 minutes, including intermission.
