In The Scottsboro Boys, the final musical collaboration between Tony-winning composing team John Kander and the late Fred Ebb, audiences learn the real-life story of a group of young African-American men falsely accused of raping two white women in 1930s Alabama. The new musical, presented in the once-popular minstrel-show style, includes an ensemble of triple-threat performers led by Joshua Henry as Haywood Patterson. We sent Word of Mouth panelists David, Amy and Morgan to see the show at they Lyceum Theatre, then asked their thoughts on the story, the music, the acting and the style of Tony winner Susan Stroman's production. Do they think Kander and Ebb have crafted yet another masterpiece? Click on to find out.
