Some of the songs were lighthearted and fun like \u201c\u2018T Ain\u2019t Nobody\u2019s Bis-ness If I Do\u201d and \u201cLounging At The Waldorf.\u201d Some were flirtatious, full of innuendo, like \u201cKeepin\u2019 Out of Mischief Now.\u201d\u00a0And there was even a somber ballad, \u201cBlack and Blue.\u201d The musical was produced and directed by Tod Booth and the cast of singers couldn\u2019t have performed better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tarra Jones led the singing cast with her full vocal range and powerful presence.\u00a0She sang a very lighthearted and flirty \u201cKeepin\u2019 Out of Mischief Now\u201d and then performed \u201cBlack and Blue,\u201d so full of emotion and message. The cast collaborated on several jazz songs with hilarious lyrics like \u201cCash for Your Trash\u201d and \u201cFat and Greeasy.\u201d Other notable performances were E. Mani Cadet\u2019s \u201cYour Feet\u2019s Too Big That Ain\u2019t Right\u201d and Christopher G. Patterson\u2019s \u201cThe Viper\u2019s Drag.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The jazz band, led by pianist Anthony Felton, received much applause as the musicians carried the audience through the range of moods. Chef DeJuan Roy created a delicious meal to complement the Harlem Jazz scene. Guests had a choice of spinach salad or atlas mountain soup for the first course. The second course options were pork rib eye, fried flounder, homemade dumplings, or BBQ jackfruit. Save room for the final course of apple cake or sweet potato cheesecake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cAin\u2019t Misbehavin\u2019\u201d will appear at Alhambra Theatre and Dining until June 9.
