With a score of exhilarating up-tempos and heart-wrenching ballads, THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS portrays the haunting history of the infamous 1930s Scottsboro case, in which a group of nine black teenagers were arrested, charged, and convicted of the rape of two white women without evidence, or due process. In this breathtaking musical critique of racism in America, the legendary songwriting team of Kander & Ebb (Cabaret, Chicago) craft a remarkable piece of musical theater, with songs and dance inspired by the period, to share a profound story of nine men in Alabama whose bravery in the face of adversity helped spark the American Civil Rights movement and changed the course of history.

The cast of THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS will feature Alejandro Eustaquio as "Ozie (Ruby)," Michael Patrick Gaffney as "Interlocutor," Jaiden Griffin as "Eugene," Albert Hodge as "Mr. Bones," Elizabeth Jones as "Lady," Kahlil Leneus as "Andy (brother Leroy)," Miles Meckling as "Willie," Royal Mickens as "Leroy 'Roy' (brother Andy)," Marcus Paige as "Haywood," Jon-David Randle as "Charlie (Victoria)," Anthony Rollins-Mullens as "Mr. Tambo," Mercury Van Sciver as "Olen," and Dedrick Weathersby as "Clarence (Preacher)."

In addition to Brandon Jackson, Diana Lee, and Kimberly Valmore, the creative team and production staff of THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS will include Genevieve Pabon (Stage Manager), Emma Gifford (Assistant Stage Manager), Stewart Lyle (Scenic Designer and Technical Director), Sean Keehan (Lighting Designer), and Rachael Heiman (Costume Designer).
