Commentaires longs: 30 protestors from The Freedom Party, a black and Latino political group concerned about historical marginalization and racism, protested the show at the Lyceum Theatre on 11/6/2010. "This racist play has reduced the tragedy of the Scottsboro Boys case to a Step n Fetchit comedic, minstrel exhibition," according to a statement from the group. "It is this type of attack on our culture and history which makes the Freedom Party absolutely necessary." / The closing night performance was interrupted repeatedly by thunderous applause. Before the performance started, composer John Kander received a standing ovation when he entered the auditorium.

Baz Bamigboye, Daily Mail (22/2/13)

Commentaires : Transfert dans le West End de la version jouée au Young Vic.
Presse : "The score doesn’t have the earworm catchiness of Kander and Ebb’s best shows, and dazzles more than it delights. But this is a genuinely radical musical, full of stinging indignation and plaintive power." Lyn Gardner for The Guardian

"Audacious and troubling, it is delivered with brilliant precision here. Tap-dancing through a number about the electric chair, harmonising in a spiritual that slips in a line about lynching, the cast perform with tremendous verve and handle Stroman’s choreography with split-second timing." Sarah Hemming for The Financial Times

"This is a hurtling journey into hell; I urge you to buy a ticket. John Kander and Fred Ebb’s 2010 musical, seen at the Young Vic last year, is a shocking experience — the more so because it is also irresistibly entertaining." Sam Marlowe for The Times

"The music is magnificent, a stirring, period-specific mixture of gospel, jazz and vaudeville. The plaintive lament Go Back Home is especially memorable, but on the whole the songs are jovial and up-tempo in a deliberate undercutting of the seriousness of the storyline." Fiona Mountford for The Evening Standard
