Last night (Wednesday 5th March) was the opening of a new show co-produced by Oxfordshire Touring Theatre Company and Pegasus Theatre. Ain't Misbehavin' is an all music show featuring the songs of the legendary Fats Waller.
The show opens with 3 musicians on stage at the renowned Cotton Club in Harlem. Their syncopated rhythms draw in 3 women and 2 men dressed in 1930s style all looking to have a real good time. They sing, sway and have a ball as do the audience tapping their feet to the catchy numbers that all seem so familiar.
The show runs until Saturday 8th March and has the added feature of a post show Swing Party after the Thursday and Friday performances with the Oxford Swing Dance Society. They will hold a short class for beginners before the evening continues, dancing the night away.
After Saturday the show goes on tour nationwide until 10 April when it goes to The Theatre in Chipping Norton for three nights. If you don't catch it at Pegasus make sure you get to see it there!
Ain't Misbehavin' is the last performance at Pegasus in the Dancin' Oxford 2008 festival although it continues at other venues around the city until Sunday 9th March when Tac-au-Tac Dance Theatre performs at the Oxford Playhouse followed by the festival 'wrap' party. Details can be found on the festival website.
