Sassy and Sultry. This musical celebration of the legendary Fats Waller evokes the delightful humor and infectious energy of an American original. Five performers are featured with rowdy to risqué songs that reflect Waller’s view of life as a journey meant for pleasure and play. A true tribute to the beat known as swing.
