Ain't Misbehavin Sells Out With Bold Proscenium Arch
The production of Ain't Misbehavin features strong musical numbers and a dynamic cast. Celeste Annette delivers a soft "Squeeze Me" while Kate Smith satire both shocks and amuses during the show. Michelle McCain struggles with flatness on some songs but shines near the piano in "Mean To Me." Milton Nealy and Clent Bowers deliver crowd-pleasing performances with "Vivpers Drag" and "Your Feets Too Big." Adjora McMillen stands out in "Keepin' Out of Mischief Now" and the band delivers with "Fat and Greasy" despite missing Arvell Shaw's bass. The quintet's dancing remains vigorous, especially in the musical's finale of Fats era songs.
