Today Kathreen and I skedaddled on up to Thousand Oaks, CA, to the Cabrillo Music Theater, and popped in to hear Ms. Carole.W. Nussbaum(President & CEO) do her thing. She oh so eloquently introduced the fabulous cast members of the Musical "Ain't Misbehavin", Directed by Ken Page.
The cast consisted of Melissa Younglblood(Nell) Anthony Manough (Andre) Arthur L. Ross (Ken) Pam Trotter(Armelia) and Natalie Wachen (Charlaine) - whom were all excellent.
The energy was very high and one could feel the connection between characters.
I loved Arthur L. Ross' version of 'Your Feets Too Big'.
Anthony Manough's rendition of The Viper's Drag/"The Reefer Song" was amazing. When Anthony Manough stepped out on stage and said "Good Meow-ning", it caught us all off guard and we all had a hearty laugh! He moon walked and danced like there was no tomorrow - Anthony Manough has some serious skills.
All three ladies were outstanding! While enjoying the musical, I happended to notice couples cuddling and men and women snapping their fingers and simply enjoying the performance, swaying to the rhythms of the cast and the band(the theatre was jammed packed).
Darryl Archibald, Musical Director & Conductor, did a wonderful job. The entire cast kept us in stitches! Hats off to every last cast/crew member.
The play runs through Jan 4 - 13, 2008. Fred Kavali Theatre, Countrywide Performing Arts Center, Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza . (805) 449-ARTS (2787) or http://www.ticketmaster.com/
If you can, please go and see it - you won't be disappointed.
Until next time...
