THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS began at the Vineyard Theatre in New York in 2010, staged by Susan Stroman, transferred to Broadway, played the Young Vic Theatre last year, and is now treading the boards on another big stage in London. The original production of The Scottsboro Boys garnered 12 Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical and Best Director.

The Scottsboro Boys tells the true story of nine young black men, aged between 12 and 19, travelling on a train through Scottsboro, Alabama in 1931 in search of a new life. By the end of their journey, their lives had been changed forever. Two white women falsely accused the nine of rape. Although one woman recanted, although the court treatment was a tragic miscarriage of justice, they were all convicted. Their subsequent trials and appeals, lasting seven years, deeply divided the nation.
