Ain't Misbehavin' (1978), a revue in two acts with music by Thomas “Fats” Waller. [
Longacre Theatre, 1,604 perf.] Murray Horowitz and Richard
Maltby Jr. conceived the musical retrospective, with various lyricists, using the songs written by the African‐American composer‐entertainer Waller (1904–43). Only a few of the songs had been created for Broadway, most notably the title number, which had first been sung in the 1929 revue
Hot Chocolates. Considered the best of the compilation revues of the era, the five‐character piece was such a critical and popular success at the
Manhattan Theatre Club that it moved to Broadway for a long run. The show also inspired other retrospective revues, such as the Eubie
Blake tribute
Eubie (1978), and the Duke Ellington revue
Sophisticated Ladies (1981).
Ain't Misbehavin' was successfully revived on Broadway with the original cast in 1988.
