“…definitely a show that you’re not going to want to miss”
– Broadway World
Director Jeffrey L. Page (Broadway director and choreographer for Beyoncé) reimagines this vibrant celebration of jazz pioneer Fats Waller’s extraordinary career, while exploring the metaphorical masks Waller and his musicians assumed while performing for white audiences.
Featuring classics from the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s-40s such as “Honeysuckle Rose,” “Your Feet’s Too Big” and “T’Aint Nobody’s Business if I Do,” and performed by a cast of five with a live onstage band, this Tony Award-winning musical revue will energize, enlighten and entertain audiences.
Conceived by Richard Maltby, Jr. + Murray Horwitz
Directed + Choreographed by Jeffrey L. Page
A co-production with Barrington Stage + Geva Theatre Center
