Prepare yourself for an evening of rowdy fun and entertainment and purchase your tickets for <b><i>Ain't Misbehavin'</i></b>, the Fats Waller musical that's a toe-tapping, rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping, bawdy, rowdy, sing-a-long, mighty fine time! Presented in honor of Black History Month <b><i>Ain't Misbehavin'</i></b> is a musical revue featuring the tunes of Fats Waller. Set during the Harlem Renaissance of the 20's and 30's, this show reminds us of a time when honky-tonk dives all around Manhattan were filled with piano players banging out that new sound known as swing. The cabaret troupe presents an evening of rowdy, raunchy, and humorous songs that encapsulate the mood of the era and reflect Waller's view of life. <br>
