A musical revue with a book by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby, Jr., music by Thomas Wright “Fats”Waller, Ain’t Misbehavin’ is unforgettable.The outrageously prodigious comic and musical soul of 1930s Harlem lives on in this rollicking, swinging, finger-snapping revue that is still considered one of Broadway’s best well-crafted revues of all time – sometimes sassy, sometimes sultry, with moments of devastating beauty.

In the second American Idol season in early 2003, guest judge Gladys Knight christened corpulent crooner Ruben Studdard a “velvet teddy bear,” a nod to his smooth, Luther Vandross-styled voice and his Barry White-sized girth. It was a nickname that stuck, since it captured the persona of the 25-year-old Birmingham, AL, native who had unexpectedly become the front-runner in the wildly popular nationally televised talent show.
