The world-premiere musical revue, “Big Sexy: The Fats Waller Revue.” features Leon S. Pitts, II. Thomas Wright “Fats” Waller was an American jazz pianist, composer, singer and comedic entertainer. He began playing piano when he was 6 and realized his dream of becoming a professional musician at 15, earning $32 a week at the Lincoln Theater in Harlem. The stride style he developed influenced the sound of modern jazz piano. "Big Sexy: The Fats Waller Revue," is a tribute to this irrepressible artist, features Waller’s signature songs, including “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” “Honeysuckle Rose,” “Your Feet’s Too Big,” “The Joint is Jumpin’” and many more—as well as some lesser-known musical gems.
