This is the 30th Anniversary Tour of the 1978 Tony Award-winning Best Musical “AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’” starring 2003 American Idol Winner Ruben Studdard and Frenchie Davis, 2003 American Idol contestant and star of “RENT” on Broadway.

The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930’s Harlem is showcased in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that is still considered one of Broadway’s most well-crafted shows of all time — sometimes sassy, sometimes sultry, with moments of heartwarming beauty. Richard Maltby, Jr., author and director will re-create his original Tony Award winning direction.

Music by Thomas “Fats” Waller. Based on an idea by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby, Jr. Ain’t Misbehavin’ is simply unforgettable! “Electrifying!…A funny, devastating, startling beautiful, heart-stopping show!” — NY Times.
