It's been almost 31 years since the Tony-winning, musical revue "Ain't Misbehavin'" opened on Broadway. The Thomas Wright "Fats" Waller tribute launched the career of the late Nell Carter and features an electrifying score that includes "Honeysuckle Rose," "This Joint is Jumpin'," "Your Feet's Too Big," and the title track. This production stars a performer whose career has already been launched -- 2003 "American Idol" champion, Ruben Studdard. Singing and swinging with "The Velvet Teddy Bear" will be "American Idol" alums Frenchie Davis and Trenyce Cobbins.

MORE INFORMATION: The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930's Harlem is showcased in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that is still considered one of Broadway's most well-crafted shows of all time - sometimes sassy, sometimes sultry, with moments of heartwarming beauty. Ain't Misbehavin' is simply unforgettable.
Presented by the City of Boston and Citi Performing Arts Center. Sponsored in part by Citbank, Madison Square Garden and Verizon Wireless
