 Valhalla, NY - Westchester Community College (WCC) will present the Ain’t Misbehavin’ musical theatre show on Saturday, June 7 at 8:00 p.m. in the Academic Arts Theatre on the Valhalla campus.
When Ain’t Misbehavin’ opened on Broadway, it made history by winning numerous Tony Awards including best musical. “The opening night audience almost knocked the roof off with cheers,” reported William Glover in the Associated Press. Time Magazine called it a “stompin’, struttin’, high-hattin’ smash” and Clive Barnes predicted Ain’t Misbehavin’ would be “a joyous celebration that is going to cross the world.”
The exciting new production of the award winning musical encompasses thirty show-stopping songs that take you on a journey through the Fats Waller songbook and Harlem’s heyday. With snazzy period costumes, complete with bowlers and spats, the dynamic five-member cast and a six-piece band turn the theatre into a rollicking rent party.
The joint is jumpin’ from start to finish with Waller classics such as “Honeysuckle Rose” and “Squeeze Me” and hilariously naughty tunes such as “Your Feet’s Too Big” and “That Ain’t Right.” This fast paced romp takes you where the high-steppers partied, from honky tonk dives to the Cotton Club, from Tin Pan Alley to the Waldorf.
Tickets are $18 (general admission), $16 (students/ seniors) with children under ten admitted free. For tickets or information, call 914- 606-6262.
