Today we rewind to 2010 when The Scottsboro Boys moved to Broadway. The musical, which features music and lyrics by legendary songwriting team John Kander and Fred Ebb, played for 49 performances at the Lyceum Theatre. Based on the Scottsboro Boys trial, the musical has the framework of a minstrel show. It was nominated for twelve Tony Awards and starred Colman Domingo, Joshua Henry, John Cullum, Forrest McClendon, Rodney Hicks and more.
