THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS Makes EW's 'Must List'

In this week's issue of Entertainment Weekly (November 19th is the cover date), THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS makes the magazine's 'The Must List'. Writing about the show, the magazine notes that "As musicals go, the telling of the painful history of nine black men falsely accused of rape in 1931 could seem a challenge. But Boys is a moving, subversive look at America's racist past, set to a glorious score."

Later in the magazine, the show is given an 'A' in a short review, alongside an A- for THE Pee-Wee Herman SHOW, a D+ for WOMEN ON THE VERGE... and a B for Colin Quinn.
