KUSD Theatre Description
The thrilling, final collaboration by musical theatre greats, John Kander and Fred Ebb, The Scottsboro Boys has been hailed as one of the most visionary pieces ever to grace the Broadway stage. Nominated for a staggering twelve Tony Awards, The Scottsboro Boys will have you tapping your toes and hollering for justice as the tables are turned on one of the most infamous events in American history: nine African-American men accused of a crime they did not commit.
In the prejudicial south of the 1930s, nine African-American men were ripped from a train and accused of rape by two white women. Hauled to jail without a shred of actual evidence against them, The Scottsboro Boys were rushed through trial procedures, found guilty and sentenced to death. What occurred in the years following the trials was a harrowing tale of bravery and strength in the face of great adversity.
With its brilliant stew of performance styles and piercing new songs, it is truly a triumph of the American Musical Theatre. (MTI) The Scottsboro Boys is a pilot production for MTI.
