A Musical Theatre Podcast

THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS ran for only two months on Broadway at the end of 2010, but in that short time it managed to spark controversy that not only brought protestors outside the theatre, but 12 Tony nominations the following Spring. Luckily our special guest this week is able to provide us with some context. Original off-Broadway and Broadway cast member Josh Breckenridge (COME FROM AWAY, THE BOOK OF MORMON) joins us to jump into some very difficult conversations with one intention in mind: to help us understand "the boys."

Follow Josh on Instagram @j.breckenridge.music and visit his website at j-breckenridge.com. He can currently be heard on the new BPN comedy ROLLING CALLS.
