Here’s a show that’s already garnering great buzz, even before it makes its Broadway debut early next month! The Scottsboro Boys is the final collaboration by musical theatre legends John Kander and Fred Ebb, known for their work together on Chicago and Cabaret.
The Scottsboro Boys is based on the notorious “Scottsboro” case in the 1930s, where nine African American men were unjustly accused of attacking two white women on a train in Alabama. The young men were convicted by an all-white jury and spent years in jail, while the case was tried and retried. In the tradition of their classic musicals Cabaret and Chicago, Kander and Ebb explore this dark chapter of American history in a daringly inventive and startling piece of musical theatre entertainment.
The Scottsboro Boys will be directed by 5-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman (The Producers) and will feature a book by David Thompson. Previews are set to begin at the Lyceum Theatre on October 7th, with opening night scheduled for October 31st. To see the show with us, simply click here to book your tour.
