From the legendary songwriting team of KANDER & EBB (CABARET, CHICAGO, KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN), THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS is a stirring new musical that explores the infamous 1930’s ‘Scottsboro Case’, in which a group of innocent African-American teenagers are falsely accused of a terrible crime — ultimately provoking a national outrage that sparked the American Civil Rights movement. With a book by DAVID THOMPSON (STEEL PIER), Tony Award-winner SUSAN STROMAN (THE PRODUCERS) directs and choreographs a stellar cast led by Tony-winner JOHN CULLUM (URINETOWN), BRANDON VICTOR DIXON (THE COLOR PURPLE), and COLMAN DOMINGO (PASSING STRANGE) on The Vineyard’s intimate stage. Do not miss your chance to see the next major American musical from the Tony Award-winning VINEYARD THEATRE.
