AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’

Music by Thomas “Fats” Waller
Based on an idea by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby, Jr.
Lyrics by Various
Directed by Jerry Dixon

The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of
1930s Harlem lives on in this rollicking, swinging,
finger-snapping revue.

The inimitable Thomas “Fats” Waller rose to international
fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club, honky tonk
dives and that jumpin’ new beat, Swing. AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ evokes the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts, strums and sings the songs 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.

AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ is one of the most popular, well-crafted revues of all time – sometimes sassy, sometimes sultry, with moments of devastating beauty. Our exciting new production should prove simply unforgettable.

AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ originally played for 1604 performances and is the winner of three 1978 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and three Drama Desk Awards including Outstanding Musical.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS
WITHOUT REALLY TRYING

Book by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock and Willie Gilbert
Lyrics by Frank Loesser
Music by Frank Loesser
Based on How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying
by Shepherd Mead
Directed by Eleanor Reissa

Power, sex, ambition, greed... it’s just another day at the office.

From the authors of GUYS AND DOLLS comes one of the most
delightfully irreverent musicals of all time. A satire of big
business and all it holds sacred, this brilliant musical comedy
follows the rise of J. Pierrepont Finch, who uses a little handbook called How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying to climb the corporate ladder from lowly window washer to high-powered executive.

Guaranteed to appeal to audiences of every kind, this perfect musical comedy is swift, sharp and jam-packed with rollicking tunes and hilarious characters. The songs are bright and brassy with a wicked sense of humor that’s as biting and on-target today as ever.

HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING originally played for 1417 performances. It was awarded seven 1962 Tony Awards, including Best Musical and was the recipient of the 1962 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
