His producer credits involve working as?R2D2 PRODUCTIONS which was nominated for a Tony for the show The Scottsboro Boys.
THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS?is the thrilling final collaboration by musical theatre giants John Kander and Fred Ebb (Chicago, Cabaret). This critically-acclaimed production comes to Broadway following a sold-out run at the Vineyard Theatre.
Directed by 5-time Tony??Award winner Susan Stroman (The Producers) and featuring a book by David Thompson (who adapted the script for?Chicago‘s record-breaking revival), this daring and wildly entertaining musical explores a fascinating chapter in American history with arresting originality. The show is based on the notorious “Scottsboro” case in the 1930s, in which 9 African-American men were unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
Their shocking and inspiring story – told though a mix of innovative staging and piercing new songs – demands to be shared. So gather ’round… and join?THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS?on their remarkable journey.
