The Scottsboro Boys

From Kander & Ebb, the songwriting team behind Chicago and Cabaret, The Scottsboro Boys is a modern masterpiece that explores the infamous 1930s Scottsboro Case.  A group of young African-American men are falsely accused of a terrible crime and the case is mishandled from the very beginning.  Humorous and haunting, the musical tells a powerful story that was a major spark in the Civil Rights Movement.
