On October 31, , The Scottsboro Boys opened at Broadway's Lyceum Theatre. The musical told the story of nine Black teenagers who were falsely accused of committing a crime against two white women while riding a train in and then spent over 10 years subsequently incarcerated and on trial. It was the final collaboration between Tony-winning songwriting duo John Kander and Fred Ebb, with a book by David Thompson, and direction-choreography by Susan Stroman.
In honor of the musical's 10th anniversary, cast members Julius Thomas III (Hamilton) and Josh Breckenridge (Come From Away) produced a video reunion with their fellow original company and creative team members to reflect on the experience, and to perform the show's "Commencing in Chattanooga." The show's signature song, it was the number chosen for the Broadway company's performance at the Tony Awards, for which it received 12 nominations including Best Musical.
Thomas III says, "This short documentary is a labor of love, and my love letter to both the incredible show and original Scottsboro Boys."
