The Scottsboro Boys is a new musical based on the notorious “Scottsboro” case in the 1930s (in which nine African-American men were unjustly accused of a terrible crime). With a score by legendary songwriting team Kander & Ebb (Chicago, Cabaret), this daring new musical explores an important chapter in American history with brilliant originality. Directed by five-time Tony Award-winner Susan Stroman (The Producers) and featuring a book by David Thompson, The Scottsboro Boys comes to the Guthrie following a critically acclaimed sold-out run Off-Broadway. This production contains mature themes. Visit www.guthrietheater.org/scottsboroboys for more information.
