Synopsis   

The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s comes to life in the three-time Tony award-winning musical revue, Ain't Misbehavin'. Join our performers on a journey through the timeless music of Thomas "Fats" Waller. You'll be jumpin' and jivin' to memorable songs such as "Honeysuckle Rose", "Ain't Misbehavin'", "Black and Blue", "This Joint is Jumpin' " and "I've Got a Feeling I'm Falling." One of the most popular, well-crafted revues of all time, sometimes sassy, sometimes sultry, it has moments of devastating beauty that are simply unforgettable.
