- The Scottsboro Boys by David Thompson
The story is based on the true story of the infamous 1930s Scottsboro case,
in which a group of nine innocent African American teenagers was falsely accused
of a terrible crime against white women in Alabama. After a series of trials,
including a case that made it to the U.S. Supreme Court, the Scottsboro events
ultimately provoked a national outrage that helped to spark the Civil Rights
movement. A stellar cast in this new musical triumph depicts one of the most
important and notorious chapters in American history. The company of actors
is extraordinary, with razor sharp dancing, and soaring music.

for "the most complete and completely satisfying new musical in a long
time" (USA Today).
