Description

Direct from Broadway, and nominated for 12 Tony Awards including Best Musical, The Scottsboro Boys is the thrilling final collaboration by musical theater giants John Kander and Fred Ebb (Chicago, Cabaret). Directed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman (The Producers) and featuring a book by David Thompson (who adapted the script for Chicago’s record-breaking revival), this daring and wildly entertaining musical explores a fascinating chapter in American history with arresting originality. The show is based on the notorious Scottsboro case in the 1930s in which nine African American men were unjustly accused of a terrible crime. An inspiring story told through a mix of innovative staging and a breathtaking score, The Scottsboro Boys was hailed by Entertainment Weekly as “The Best New Musical of the Year.”
