Review: The Scottsboro Boys at the Garrick Theatre

Last year The Scottsboro Boys took theatreland by storm when it received its UK premiere at the Young Vic. Word of mouth couldn't have been stronger and people were doing anything they could to get tickets. I smugly had mine pinned up on the noticeboard, but sadly something unavoidable came up at the last minute which meant I was no longer able to see the show. Therefore, along with all those who couldn't see The Scottsboro Boys first time around, I was thrilled when producers confirmed that Kander and Ebb's final musical, which premiered off-Broadway in 2010, would be transferring to the West End.
