Ain't Misbehavin' 1978 Tony Awards

[@sunnydayzie1202]

Gosh I had this album in college in the late 80s and used to play it on my car stereo commuting back and forth. Carefree wonderful days in a simpler world! It's great to hear it again!

RIP Amelia McQueen (Jan. 6, 1952 - Oct. 3, 2020).

Never get tired of seeing this show 🍾🥂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

We had such fun back in the day. I often took my out of town rich guy friends to see this show. It was always a treat and a wonderful evening. Who could EVER get tired of Nell, Andre, Ken and that great music?

[@mrmacfilms1]

I was a little kid when this play was on Broadway. I remember the TV commercials for it and always wanted to see it. Such a talented cast!

[@NorCalPhil]

The revival of Ain’t Misbehavin’ with the Pointer Sisters was the first show I ever saw. It’s great to see this performance from the 70s

[@TrevorduBuisson]

I would say my all-time favourite musical show.

[@lizcastaneda4755]

I love this so much! 🤗😁

[@missfrances137]

In 2011, I performed Nell Carter's role for the Baltimore Black Theater Alliance. Now I know I can't sing but I did my best. It was some experience. A lot of pain for me though.

[@tightKnit]

Classic. Scores, performers of today...are just not cut from the same cloth. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@lortiz3570]

OMG--such wonderful memories! I was 14 when I saw this show on Broadway w this original cast. It was one of hot

[@Moe10072]

Nell Carter is the best!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@SharonCreamer671956]

#secmusic #sectheater Nell Carter (in purple); gone, but, not forgotten.

[@estelleschneider9033]

Missed very much

[@winecrimesfoodandtime7119]

RIP 🌹

[@Blactor]

What a KNOCKOUT performance.' I also love that all of these performers are still working (Nell will always be remembered). Thanks for posting this!

[@RSmith6948]

Could someone please upload footage of Nell Carter winning her Tony award for this show? I remember it and would love to see it again. Hers seems to be the only Tony acceptance speech from the 1970s that someone hasn't put on here. Thank you.

[@hotgritz4sho]

Great performance! Love this clip! Nell was tiny here. Charlayne Woodard sang ("White Boys") w/Nell Carter in the big screen version of Hair.

[@hankaustin7091]

LOL Tiny?? No, Nell Carter was never "tiny" in the true sense of the word.. maybe she was less obese here, but, she was never "tiny ".

[@winecrimesfoodandtime7119]

She is so pretty

[@TJ1920]

Everyone wants to see Nell Carter

[@Moe10072]

❤❤❤❤

[@gracekealoha7710]

Outstanding performance! Take a bow because they took most of the awards this evening! Other performances had so much going on....but this cast was just 5 and simple, and they was the best and topped all thee others....just sayin'

[@sparklemotion1018]

They gave a wonderful performance and are a very talented cast, but "Ain't Misbehavin'" didn't win the most Tony Awards in 1978. This show won just 3 awards (Best Musical, Best Direction of a Musical, and Nell Carter was Best Featured Actress in a Musical). "On the 20th Century" won 5 Tony Awards (Best Leading Actor in a Musical - John Cullum; Best Featured Actor in a Musical - Kevin Kline; Best Book of a Musical; Best Original Score; and Best Scenic Design.

[@iamstephaniespight]

[@reneebraxton1032]

This was the first Broadway Musical I saw as a teen.

[@mimlo7534]

I saw this live in San Francisco in 1979(?) Was so excited to see Nell Carter in person...and she was sick, the understudy went on. I was so pissed! But still enjoyed it. RIP Ms. Carter.

[@Dan-vt3nk]

Awesome!

[@janinealyson7640]

Simply the best

[@ccth22]

Wow Charlayne Woodard was a cutie!

[@kirahodge-rochon6212]

I swear that she never ages.

[@glencmac]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!

[@lortiz3570]

Oops--was typing previous post on Ipad and hit done by mistake. I was saying that this was one of the best Bway shows. Great music, huge talent on stage...grand memories of applauding until my hands were raw

My favorite part 2:14

[@MarjorieEarlDean]

Is the lady in navy from Amen?

[@SherriBowen-fo4bh]

No

[@Surreal469]

DeAndre must 've just come back from vacation or something. Homeboy had a tan and a half! Lol

[@hsbthree]

Charlayne Woodard from The Fresh Prince of Belaire.

[@carolyntownsend4444]

Yes that was her😎😎😎

[@jhgjhggj]

They're having upcoming auditions for this and I may go for it! I'm a soprano so I'm hoping to get Armelia since she's a soprano.

[@khalilc.4876]

Do it and be confident. If you don't get a big part it's okay. Being a performer you take any role they offer you. No small parts, just small minded performers. Wish you the best of luck.

[@jhgjhggj]

Thanks so much! I've performed in many shows and I have gotten small roles before and one of my directors one time told me if you treat it like a small role then it will be a small role.

[@MsDisneylandlover]

Guy in brown i like him

[@iamstephaniespight]

I GOT IT !!! You ain't got NOTHING 🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@beverlyajohnson8041]

[@marvinrodriguez7971]

Mrs Price

[@Silvio67]

Is that Sister Peg from Law and Order???

[@motownbg]

yes. her name is Charlayne Woodard. look her up on imdb. she has done many tv shows and movies that you would notice her from.

[@2036livy]

the one at blue was actually larger than Nell was at this time

[@Rcity2332]

Tough crowed

[@remyfacade]

Irene Cara had Charlayne's part before Bway. I would have like to have seen that

[@sparklemotion1018]

It was a different version of the show, shorter, not full-length. Also, they didn't have Irene Cara sing as much as Charlayne did later, because Irene Cara was promoted mostly as a dancer early in her career. Irene Cara didn't become famous as a singer until after she was cast in Fame. Coco was originally just a dancer, and Irene Cara won the part... but when the producers heard her sing they had the part re-written, and she was the breakout star of the film.

[@robertdelapaz6848]

This is broadway! Not what their producing today…😕
