Ain't Misbehavin'
Ain’t Misbehavin’
Oct 24 – Nov 29
Written by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby, Jr.
Directed by Chris Coleman
“The music of jazz legend Thomas "Fats" Waller is iconic. Born in the Harlem nightlife, his blues/jazz melodies are hauntingly beautiful and complex.” - Broadway World
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, this sassy, sultry musical celebrates the remarkable life and talents of a legendary jazz great, Fats Waller. The delightful humor and infectious energy of this exuberant jazz review that takes us from the Harlem Renaissance through World War II; Waller’s work shows a determination to grasp life’s joys, laughter and passion, even in a community shadowed by the pain of an often difficult American society. With permission from the authors, PCS is creating an expanded cast version of the original production.
Ages: Ain’t Misbehavin’ is recommended for ages 12+; contains suggestive language and, contrary to the title, some harmless misbehavin’! The actors in this production will be using tobacco-free herbal cigarettes. Children under 6 are not permitted at any PCS production.
