Ain't Misbehavin'
Meet The Crew
Director's Note:
Ain’t Misbehavin is a special show. It instantly
transports you to a different time. It pulls you into this
world that’s rambunctious , fun, and overflowing with
spirit. Ain’t Misbehavin’ is silly, a little raunchy, and at
times heartbreaking.
The cast embodies the different parts of Fats Waller’
personality. He has such a jovial presence and through
his music he puts you in a front row seat to human
emotion. Songs like “The Joint is Jumping and “Black
and Blue” Speak to both the joys and sorrow's of Black
people; Our plight and our truths.
I’ve loved Ain’t Misbehavin since I performed in the
show over a decade ago; It has had a lasting impact on
me. This is a show that changes you after you
experience it. I’m so happy to bring this show back to
Kalamazoo. What excites me most is that this
production is being told through The Black lens; We
are very proud to have an all Black creative team.
So many things have happened in the past few years
for us all; Ain’t Misbehavin will not only provide escape
and entertainment but will speak directly to the human
experience. What makes Ain’t Misbehavin’ so much fun
is the immersive atmosphere; This is a show that
thrives on Input from the audience. To be clear we want
you to talk back; We want you to chime in with “Un
Huh” and Amen”. Ain’t Misbehavin is best enjoyed with
this sense of talking back in mind. I know you’ll enjoy
this journey through the music of Fats Waller.
