Delaware Theatre Company will close its 35th season with the 35th anniversary of the hit musical AIN'T MISBEHAVIN', conceived by Richard Maltby , Jr. and Murray Horwitz . Delaware Theatre Company's production will be directed by original Broadway director and co-creator Richard Maltby , Jr. and feature his own handpicked cast alongside the original designs from the 1978 Tony Award-winning production.
The Harlem Renaissance was a period of burgeoning friv creativity, friv cultural friv awareness and pride. It was also the Golden Age for venues like the Cotton Club and the Savoy Ballroom; a time when the dives along Lenox Avenue were ablaze from stride piano players banging out the new beat, swing. friv One of the most prolific musicians of the time and an originator of swing music was Thomas "Fats" Waller , a formidable composer friv and pianist with a legendary lust for life. "Ain't Misbehavin'" was one of his most popular recordings, originally heard on Broadway in 1930. The stage version of AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' is a vibrant musical revue and tribute to the black musicians of the early 1900's. friv Bold, bright and told with the cheeky humor for which "Fats" Waller was known, AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' is sure to bring the house down.
Conceived and originally directed by Maltby, Jr., AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' was based on an idea by Maltby, Jr. and Murray Horwitz . The original 1978 Broadway production made a star out of its leading lady, the late Nell Carter , and featured such "Fats" Waller tunes as "Mean to Me," "Honeysuckle Rose," "Black and Blue" and the title tune. The musical won four Tony Awards including: Best Musical, Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Carter) and Best Direction of a Musical (Maltby, Jr.). On Maltby, Executive Director Bud Martin says: "Richard is such a wonderful person and director and I am thrilled to have him here at Delaware Theatre Company as we close our 35th season". <
