Big Sexy: The Fats Waller Revue at Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe

Closing the season is Big Sexy: The Fats Waller Revue. Thomas Wright "Fats" Waller was an American jazz pianist, composer, singer and comedic entertainer. His Harlem stride piano style influenced the sound of modern jazz piano. Waller realized his dreams at an early age: he began playing the piano at the tender age of 6 and became a professional keyboard player at 15. In 1922, by the age of 18, he was a recording artist. Nate Jacobs original tribute to this one-of-a-kind artist and composer of over 400 songs is not to be missed. Tunes include Aint Misbehavin, Honeysuckle Rose, Lulus Back in Town, Your Feets Too Big and The Joint is Jumpin. WBTT founder/artistic director Nate Jacobs will direct.
