"Ain't Misbehavin'" - The Elden Street Players

The Elden Street Players present Ain't Misbehavin', showcasing the music of "Fats" Waller. 

The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930's Harlem lives on in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that is still considered one of Broadway's best. 

The inimitable Thomas "Fats" Waller rose to international fame duirng the Golden Age of the Cotton Club, honky tonk dives along Lenox Avenue, rent parties, stride piano players, and that jumpin' new beat, swing.

Although not quite a biography, Ain't Misbehavin' evokes the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts, strums and sings the song he made famous in a career that ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood and concert stages in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
