"The choreography by Ilyse Robbins, dynamic throughout, is especially effective in a nightmare sequence that unfolds around an electric chair, the Scottsboro Boys in striped prison attire." - Don Aucoin, The Boston Globe

 

"The Scottsboro Boys is an effective and affecting piece of theater that is not only to the credit of creators, Kander, Ebb, and Thompson, but to Paul Daigneault's sharp-edged direction, Robbins' multistyled choreography, Matthew Stern's music direction, and the splendid cast as well. All of their forces combined result in a truthful and brave production of a show that feels like anything but a timepiece." - Iris Fanger, TheaterMania.com
