It’s all singing and swinging at the Marriott Theatre in Lincolnshire, celebrating the centenary of Thomas ‘Fats’ Waller with a spiffy revival of Ain’t Misbehavin’, the 1978 Tony Award-winning Broadway revue. Prolific recording artist, radio and film star Fats Waller (1904-1943), was a pianist, composer, outsized personality and clown prince of hot jazz best known for the songs (words by Andy Razaf) ‘Honeysuckle Rose’ and ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’.’ If you don’t know the man or his music, check out the Marriott Theatre through Sept. 5. You’ll tap your toes for sure, but watch out for ‘The Viper.’ (847) 634-0200; $40.
