Playful and ribald, sarcastic and poignant, steamy and saucy, but always life-affirming

Tony Winners Richard Maltby Jr and Andre De Shields revitalise Ain't Misbehavin'!
From an astounding directorial partnership of Tony Award winners Richard Maltby Jr. (the original creator) and Andre De Shields (member of the original cast) comes a whole new imagining of Ain't Misbehavin', premiering at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater this Fall. This beloved show, set during the Harlem Renaissance, is the definition of unmissable!
The place? Harlem. The music? Unbeatable. This ground-breaking musical is a heartfelt and foot-stomping ode to the music of Fats Waller, featuring an incredible list of songs from The Joint Is Jumpin to the titular Ain't Misbehavin'. The show won multiple Tony awards on its debut in 1978 and this bold new version, lovingly crafted by Maltby Jr and de Shields, will have audiences on their feet dancing with joy.
