Show synopsis: 

Assembled under the expert eye of acclaimed director/lyricist, Richard Maltby, Jr., Ain’t Misbehavin’ is one of the most popular, well-crafted revues of all time and winner of the 1978 Tony Award for Best Musical.

The inimitable Thomas “Fats” Waller rose to international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club and that jumpin’ new beat, swing music. Although not quite a biography, Ain’t Misbehavin’ evokes the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts, strums and sings the songs that he made famous in a career that ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood and concert stages in the U.S., Canada and Europe.

The intoxicating music of Fats Waller will delight and energize audiences as well as provide great insight into a vibrant time in American history and music.

Cast List and Breakdown: 

Coronado Playhouse encourages performers of all ethnicities, gender identities and persons with disabilities to audition for all shows. In consideration of the cultural roots and legacy of Fats Waller, the creative team seeks to cast African American, African, Black, and BIPOC actors for the singing roles and are looking to showcase a range of diverse ethnicities in the dance ensemble.
