BWW Review: Philadelphia Theatre Company's THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS - Simply Excellent
by Rebecca Goering - Jan 31, 2012
The Scottsboro Boys, by the renowned duo John Kander and Fred Ebb, is simply excellent from the opening number to the final curtain. Vaudeville-infused numbers put a showy spin on the disturbing 1931 true story of nine black teenage boys in Alabama who were charged with a crime they didn't commit. From the initial accusation and unending jail time to the multitude of trials and the final resolutions made by the court and the boys themselves, the ensemble cast sings and dances their way through the entire saga. Filled with beautiful timbres, endearing characters, spirited dancing and grandiose pizazz, this show is an enjoyable way to engage in a greater discussion on race and progress in American society.
