AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ is a musical revue with a book by Murray Horowitz and Richard Maltby, Jr., music by Thomas Wright “Fats” Waller, orchestrations and additional music by Luther Henderson, and lyrics by various writers. Fats Waller, the outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930s Harlem, lives on in this rollicking, finger-snapping show that is still considered one of Broadway’s most well crafted revues.
Dubbed “The Velvet Teddy Bear” by legendary R&B soulstress Gladys Knight, Ruben Studdard shot to fame in 2003 after winning the TV talent competition smash hit AMERICAN IDOL. The Grammy-nominated star will be joined on stage by two other AMERICAN IDOL alums: 2003 contestant and star of Broadway’s RENT Frenchie Davis along with 2003 top five finalist Trenyce Cobbins. Together with a first-class cast and a live, on-stage band, they will bring classic popular hits like “Honeysuckle Rose,” “This Joint is Jumpin’,” “Your Feet’s Too Big,” and the title song “Ain’t Misbehavin’” to life. Further casting will be announced shortly.
