The impressive production of
The Scottsboro Boys is both easy and difficult to watch. With top notch performances, the slick musical was written by the famed songwriting team behind "Chicago" and choreographed by the woman behind "The Producers." Tackling an infamous chapter in American racism with song and dance is a contradiction, for sure. Catch the show before it moves to Broadway in October. (New York Magazine lists it in its list of top
20 most anticipated shows of the season.)
