"A masterwork, both daring and highly entertaining." - New York Post
With a score of exhilarating up-tempos and heart-wrenching ballads, THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS portrays the haunting history of the infamous 1930s Scottsboro case, in which a group of nine black teenagers were arrested, charged, and convicted of the rape of two white women, without evidence, proof, or due process. In this breathtaking musical critique of racism in America, the legendary songwriting team of Kander & Ebb (CABARET, CHICAGO) craft a remarkable piece of musical theater, with songs and dance inspired by the period, to share a profound story of nine men in Alabama whose bravery in the face of adversity helped spark the American Civil Rights movement and changed the course of history.
THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS is a 12-Time Tony Award Nominee.
Music and Lyrics by John Kander and Fred Ebb
