Ain’t Misbehavin’ Student Matinees Oct 23, 24, & 30

For grades 6-8

The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s comes to life in the three-time Tony Award-winning musical Ain’t Misbehavin’. These multi-talented performers will take you on a journey through the timeless music of Fats Waller. As an American jazz pianist, organist, composer, singer, and comedic entertainer, his innovations to the Harlem stride style laid the groundwork for modern jazz piano. Ain’t Misbehavin’ is a roof-raising musical tribute to the era!

With unforgettable hits like “Sherry” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” Jersey Boys will take you on a nostalgic trip through the lives of these music legends as they navigate fame, friendship, and the music industry.
