Scottsboro Boys Closing

     The musical based on the infamous Scottsboro Boys prosecution in North Alabama is closing, according to The New York Times...a victim of not enough patrons.

     So is another musical...Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson (picture an emo president).

     Maybe history based musicals aren't what theatergoers want to see right now? And maybe the economy has cut into the number of people going to Broadway shows in the first place.

The Scottsboro Boys, The Play

The reviews are coming in for the Broadway production of a play based on the Scotsboro Boys, which opened Sunday night...the N.Y. Daily News giving it a generally positive review.



[UPDATE: The New York Times has a positive review too.]
