You’ll be jumpin’ and jivin’ with memorable songs such as “Honeysuckle Rose,” “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” “Black and Blue,” “This Joint is Jumpin',” and “I’ve Got A Feeling I’m Falling.” AIN'T MISBEHAVIN’ is one of the most popular, well-crafted revues of all time - sometimes sassy, sometimes sultry … this show has moments of devastating beauty that are simply unforgettable.
