The production is produced by Irving Siders and directed by Richard
Maltby, Jr., who garnered a Tony Award as Best Director o f a musical for
the show. Others responsible for “ A IN ’T M IS B E H A V IN ’ ’ include Murray
Horwitz (associate director), John Lee Beatty (set design), Arthur Faria

Thomas “ F a ts " Waller grew up in the exciting musical atmosphere o f
Harlem in the teens and 20’ s. He began his professional piano career at f if ­
teen, usually as an accompanist for blues singers or on recording sessions
with big bands. As a musician, Waller raised the art o f stride piano to its
highest level and in so doing became one of the originators o f swing music.
“ There are a lot o f people who never heard o f him, but somehow or other -
just like Scott Joplin - they realize that they’ ve heard his music all their life ,”
says Luther Henderson, musical supervisor o f the Broadway show.

Adrienne West,
More than anyone else, Fats Waller captured the spirit o f the Golden Age
o f Harlem, the 20’ s and 30’s. His sarcastic throwaway, gently abrasive style
o f singing, prodded by spoken interjections - grabbed a huge chunk o f
America’s heart.
The show - which is nearly devoid of dialogue and centered around the life,
times and music o f the famous jazz pianist - is an energetic, joyous,
irresistible evocation o f Waller and his era.
Tickets for the Northwest Releasing event are on sale at the Ticket Place at
Frederick & Nelson (downtown) and the usual outlets.
