Summary
It was more than three decades ago when Ain't Misbehavin' won critical acclaim on Broadway as the theatrical work of Thomas "Fats" Waller. With a dazzling display of music, dance and singing jams, [Chuck Smith] has resurrected the Tony Award Winning show that pays homage to Fats' famous barrelhouse of Harlem jigg.
"Ain't Misbehavin' revives the musical genius of Fats Waller's joyous music not heard everyday or found on many i-Pods - for a glorious night in the theater," said Smith, the Goodman Theater's resident director, and the associate producer of Legacy Productions, a Chicagobased touring company. "Though this is a period piece our production trades the traditional nightclub setting for a concert venue, complete with eye-popping visuals - a perfect backdrop for these larger-than-life musical numbers. It is a toe-tappin', finger-snappin', hand-clappin' good time!""Ain't Misbehavin' revives the musical genius of Fats Waller's joyous music not heard everyday or found on many i-Pods - for a glorious night in the theater," said Smith, the Goodman Theater's resident director, and the associate producer of Legacy Productions, a Chicagobased touring company.See the full content of this document
