    Ain't Misbehavin' is a musical revue with book by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby, Jr., music by Thomas Wright "Fats" Waller, and lyrics by various contributing writers. This tribute to the black musicians of the 1920's and '30s who were part of the Harlem Renaissance reflects an era of growing creativity, cultural awareness and ethnic pride.

    Taking its title from the 1929 Waller song Ain't Misbehavin', this was a time when Manhattan nightclubs like the Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom were the playgrounds of high society and Lenox Avenue dives were filled with piano players banging out the new beat known as swing.

    Five performers present an evening of rowdy, raunchy, and humorous songs that encapsulate the various moods of the era and reflect Waller's view of life as a journey meant for pleasure and play.

      I was sad that I wasn't able to see and review this earlier in the run. I had no idea what to expect and musicals not being my favorite wasn't sure I was going to be the target audience. 5 actors, 31... Expand
