Paul and Jill are joined this week by special guest Hal Wesley Rogers to take on 2010’s The Scottsboro Boys! This tour-de-force of real-life events was directed by Susan Stroman, with music by legendary team Kander and Ebb (Chicago, Cabaret). This troupe stars Winnipegger-turned-Broadway performer Joshua Henry as Haywood Patterson, and features just… just some incredible performances.

Paul, Jill, and Hal ask the important questions, like can we always have glitter showers? Was this production sponsored by IKEA? And how do we retroactively wake up the Tony Awards committee so they don’t sleep on this show?

CW: anti-Black racism, police brutality, and sexual assault.
