Aint Misbehavin
Step into the intoxicating world of Fats Waller and the golden age of Harlem jazz with Ain't Misbehavin', the Tony Award-winning musical revue that celebrates one of America's most beloved musical geniuses. This electrifying show weaves together more than two dozen of Waller's most iconic songs — from the cheeky swagger of 'Ain't Misbehavin'' to the soulful tenderness of 'Honeysuckle Rose' — into an unforgettable evening of rhythm, wit, and pure musical joy.
Performing at The Yard at Chicago Shakespeare Theater on May 6, 2026, this production brings the spirit of the 1920s and 30s speakeasy era roaring back to life on one of Chicago's most intimate and dynamic stages. The Yard's flexible, immersive design places audiences right in the heart of the action, making every note feel personal and every performer's smile feel like it's meant just for you. With dazzling vocals, infectious choreography, and a live jazz sensibility that fills every corner of the room, this is theater that moves you — body and soul.
Whether you're a lifelong jazz devotee or discovering Fats Waller for the very first time, Ain't Misbehavin' is an evening of pure theatrical delight. Expect laughter, foot-tapping rhythms, soaring harmonies, and the kind of feel-good energy that lingers long after the curtain falls. Don't miss this rare chance to experience a Broadway classic at one of Chicago's premier theatrical destinations.
