★★★★★ 'Extraordinary and unforgettable' Metro
Directed and choreographed by five-time Tony Award winner Susan Stroman (The Producers and Bullets Over Broadway) The Scottsboro Boys was nominated for 12 Tony Awards and 6 Olivier Awards, in addition to winning the Critics’ Circle Best Musical of 2013, this stunning show has delighted audiences and been unanimously acclaimed both on Broadway and in London.
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. Wrongly accused of an unspeakable crime, their trial would divide a nation. But behind the screaming headlines was the devastating story of nine young men, desperate to prove to the world that they mattered.
The Scottsboro Boys had a powerful effect on American history and on the American Civil Rights Movement. Their trials led to the passage of two pivotal Supreme Court rulings, including the right to proper legal representation and the right to trial by a jury of one’s peers, specifically ensuring that black people could no longer be excluded from juries.
The Scottsboro Boys continue to make history today. On 19 April 2013, the Scottsboro Boys Act was finally passed – a historic piece of legislation to posthumously exonerate the last eight of the nine boys, enacted an incredible 82 years later.

Si vous passez devant le Garrick Theatre en ce moment, vous verrez des affiches montrant une troupe de jeunes hommes souriants, chantant, dansant et ayant l’air de passer le meilleur moment de leur vie. Vous pourriez donc être surpris d’apprendre que The Scottsboro Boys est loin d’être une histoire joyeuse. En fait, c’est l’inverse ; Un récit tragique et captivant d’injustice et de racisme qui vous laisse sans voix et furieux.
