American Idol champion Ruben Studdard to perform in Roanoke

»  Comments | Post a Comment

The 30th Anniversary National Tour of the Tony Award-winning musical AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ starring Ruben Studdard comes to the Roanoke Performing Arts Theatre in Roanoke for one performance only January 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets, priced from $29.50 to $49.50, are on sale now and can be purchased at the Roanoke Civic Center Ticket Office, online at www.tickets.com or by phone at 888-397-3100. Discounts are available for groups of 20 or more by calling 540-853-LIVE.

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.
