Scottsboro Boys at Young Vic!

[DeNada]

To be fair, I'm not super excited about Scottsboro Boys as a piece - but still, what an embarrassment of riches we're getting this year for musical theatre after an appalling year last year! And it's the original Stroman staging, too!

Never thought we'd see this one!

I agree with you.

I saw this on Broadway a couple of years ago and the set consisted of roughly 10 chairs and that's it, but how they are utilised is stunning.

Definitely a show worth catching.

This is one of the most powerful pieces of musical theatre of all time, depicting one of the most infamous events of injustice in the social history of the USA - and it has an amazing Kander and Ebb score. I saw it on Broadway and was blown away - and the CD blows me away every time I listen to it - genuine genius writing. Can't wait to see it again. What a coup for the Young Vic!
