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.

RE:The Scottsboro Boys
The best musical of the year, Off- or On- Broadway. This show will have you humming the tunes all the way home while contemplating the terrible tragedy and injustice of the compelling story. The combination of Kander & Ebb, Stroman, and a fantastic cast is something you dont get to see very often. And the grand finale number is musical tour-de-force and a gut-wrencher.

Based on the true story of nine men falsely accused of raping two white women on a train traveling through Alabama in 1931, the inventive, consistently thought-provoking musical is performed as if it were a traveling minstrel show, presided over by the white Interlocutor (a winningly smarmy John Cullum), who has at his disposal an 11 member African-American ensemble. The company is led by Mr. Bones (Colman Domingo) and Mr.[...]
