“…a stompin’, struttin’, high-hattin’ smash” – TIME Magazine

Amina Robinson – Barrymore award-winning director of Theatre Horizon’s The Color Purple – returns to helm this electrifying world of the Harlem Renaissance, where the music was hot, the nights were alive, and every spotlight shone with possibility.
Honorary Producer Zandra Maffett 

Ain’t Misbehavin’, the Tony Award-winning celebration of Fats Waller, brings the era’s jazz houses and juke joints to life with an unforgettable evening of romance, humor, dance, and pure Black joy. Featuring timeless hits like “Honeysuckle Rose,” “It’s a Sin to Tell a Lie,” “I Can’t Give You Anything but Love,” and the iconic “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” this dazzling show honors a musical genius who forever changed the sound of American music.
