With their latest production, Ain't Misbehavin' - The Fats Waller Musical Show, Oxfordshire Touring Theatre Company said that they were setting out to "transform Village Halls around rural Oxfordshire into Manhattan nightclubs". When I went to see them at the Pegasus Theatre I was thrilled that that was exactly what they have achieved. A terrific set by Jane Linz Roberts conjured up a smoky jazz den that encompassed the whole auditorium within its smoochy atmosphere.

This works perfectly as the production is imbued with the sexy and sultry vibe of 1920s speakeasy culture. The songs run a gamut of styles and subject from sad/bluesy, saucy/sexy, to outright hilarity. The Joint is Jumpin', I Can't Give You Anything But Love, and Honeysuckle are just three of the 20 numbers in the show; all are classics.

The cast embrace the challenge of this fast-paced show enthusiastically. Particular highlights for me were the soulful Mean to Me sung with heart-wrenching emotion by Sharon Wattis, and the side-splittingly funny Your Feet's Too Big from Nigel Phillips (pictured with Sharon). In ensemble the company were excellent, for instance, in the end of show let-it-rip' finale, or in their sophisticated renditions of social commentaries, such as Black and Blue. Musical director Dominic Harlan has melded his musicians and singers into an impressive team, who genuinely celebrate this great songwriter.

The is the last project with OTTC for artistic director Brendan Murray. He is bowing out on an incredible high and should be very proud of this bold new production. Ain't Misbehavin' is a polished and exciting show and will delight all those who come out to see it.
