I am looking for internet pictures for research purposes.  I am also
looking for a video tape as well.

Hi:  In regard to your inquiry on "Ain't Misbehavin'":

I have found the following links online.  There are several images to
peruse that
represent Ain't Misbehavin including a large promotional poster.
http://www.arena-stage.org/season/2002/aintmisbehavin/art_photos.shtml

Here's some pictures of scenic and lighting design for Ain't
Misbehavin':
http://www.hillmardesign.com/bus/showpg/aintmis/AM.shtml  (This is not
the original Broadway cast, however).

I have done an extensive search for a video tape or DVD of any
production of Ain't Misbehavin' and was unable to locate anything on
either the original Broadway cast or another production.

I have checked Amazon and Ebay and could not locate a video at either
of these sites, either.  I also checked numerous Broadway show sites
but found only programs, CD's, show merchandise and tickets and these
were for shows currently playing or touring.  What I did find was a
listing for an old movie version of Ain't Misbehavin' but it is no
longer available:
http://www.hollywood.com/movies/detail/movie/235365

You mentioned that you wanted the photos and video for research
purposes so I have included a link for the "study guide" as well in
case it contains information that may help you:

http://www.seasidemusictheater.org/guides/aint.htm
The study guide does list some relevant videos near the end of its
text, however, these videos are only relevant for further study into
the culture and people of Harlem and not an actual video of a
production of the show. There are also a couple of photos in the study
guide but again, the production is NOT the original Broadway
production.

Here's a link to the original Broadway cast album from Barnes and
Noble.  There are lots of clickable links for cast members which may
also help you in your research:

Numerous sites offer cast recordings such as:

http://www.eur.com/musicals/title.cfm?TNumber=2
This includes cast albums from the original Broadway production as
well as the London production.

To search for all of this information I used:

"Ain't Misbehavin'"
"Broadway musicals"
"Musicals"
"Ain't Misbehavin' video"
"videos of musicals"
"production photos of Ain't Misbehavin'"

I utilized the Dogpile search system (finding a couple of links from
"Ask Jeeves") as well as all the google resources.

I hope that the links and information that I did find will help you
with your research.

Although my researcher came up with good info, I was able to find the
same links myself earlier.  I was hoping for something he or she would
have found something that I could not.
