The Vineyard Theatre’s production of THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS is more than your typical well-performed Off-Broadway musical—it is provocative, thought provoking, toe-tapping, and a five-star work of art. This is bold, exhilarating theatre at its best. It is our Discover NYC pick of the week.From the celebrated songwriting team of KANDER & EBB (CABARET, CHICAGO, KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN), THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS is a new musical that explores the well-known 1930’s ‘Scottsboro Case’, in which a group of innocent African-American teenagers are falsely accused of a terrible crime—eventually provoking a national outrage that sparked the American Civil Rights movement. It is directed and choreographed with fine attention to detail by Tony Award-winner SUSAN STROMAN (THE PRODUCERS) with outstanding performances by JOHN CULLUM (URINETOWN), BRANDON VICTOR DIXON (THE COLOR PURPLE), and COLMAN DOMINGO (PASSING STRANGE). The show has been extended through April 18, 2010. But don’t wait—click here to get your tickets now.
