WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Scottsboro Boys explores the infamous "Scottsboro" case of the 1930's when a group of African American teenagers were unjustly accused of attacking two white women -- and the boys' attempts to prove their innocence. Kander and Ebb's The Scottsboro Boys is a stirring and provocative new work depicting one of the most memorable and notorious chapters in the history of race in America.

Great Scotts
Recently I saw the musical The Scottsboro Boys last night. I was amazed at how it made me feel. I was never so touched and moved by a musical before. They examined a horrible racist moment in US history and the justice system. I felt for all 9 of the men/boys who?s lives were destroyed. The Minstrel show was just a plot device. Kander, Ebb, the director and actors did a great job. People need to see it before they condemn it.

The Scottsboro Boys, the new musical by John Kander, Fred Ebb, and David Thompson, has arrived at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre after a celebrated run earlier this year at the Vineyard Theatre. And now more than ever -- thanks in part to some judicious tweaks from director-choreographer Susan Stroman and the replacement of three cast members -- The Scottsboro Boys grabs audiences as soon as the members of the ensemble burst down the aisles of the theater and never lets go.
The audacious, troubling, and yet strangely entertaining work tells the true story of nine men falsely accused of raping two white women on a train traveling through Alabama in 1931 within the framework of a traveling minst[...]
