Clarksville, TN – The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930s Harlem lives on in the Roxy Regional Theatre’s production of AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’: The Fats Waller Musical Show, beginning February 11th.
Thomas “Fats” Waller rose to international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club, honky tonk dives along Lenox Avenue, rent parties, stride piano players and that jumpin’ new beat, Swing! Based on an idea by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby Jr., this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue features such tunes as “Honeysuckle Rose,” “Mean to Me,” “Keepin’ Out of Mischief,” “This Joint Is Jumpin’,” “I’ve Got a Feeling I’m Falling,” and many more.
Directed and choregraphed by Ryan Bowie, AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ stars Faith Boles, Rendell DeBose, Brittney Mack, Keith Patrick McCoy, Roslyn Seale and Tom Thayer on piano.
AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ runs February 11th through March 5th, playing Wednesdays and Thursdays at 7:00pm and Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm, with a 2:00pm matinee on Saturday, February 19th. Tickets are $20.00 (adults) and $15.00 (ages 13 and under).
Saturday, February 12th, is our special Valentine’s offering, “Martinis with Fats.” Beginning at 6:30pm, patrons will enjoy martinis, along with delicious hors d’oeuvres provided by Lovin’ Spoonful Cafe. Then at 8:00pm, guests will be entertained by the music of Fats Waller in AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’. Tickets are $50.00.
Tickets to all performances may be reserved online at www.roxyregionaltheatre.org, by phone at 931-645-7699, or at the theatre during regular box office hours (9:00am-2:00pm, weekdays).
