Ain't Misbehavin': Spirited Revue of Jazz Age Music
Harold Washington Cultural Center (4701 S. King Drive Chicago, IL 60653)
Step back in time to the Golden Age of jazz! In 1930s Harlem, hot spots like the Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom were bursting with swing music, snazzy jazz and stride piano. The Tony Award-winning Ain't Misbehavin' is a celebration of the music of that era. Thomas "Fats" Waller wrote more than 400 songs in his career -- many of which have entered the classic repertoire of jazz standards that are still being performed today. An ensemble of energetic and irresistible performers will bring down the house with a musical parade of 25 of the most popular numbers, including "The Jitterbug Waltz," "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter," "'T'Ain't Nobody's Biz-ness If I Do," "Honeysuckle Rose," "Find Out What They Like" and "Your Feets Too Big."
