“Scottsboro Boys”, “Here Lies Love”, Gillian Anderson Take London Evening Standard Theatre Awards

The Scottsboro Boys, the controversial Kander & Ebb musical that treats a notorious 1931 Alabama criminal case in the style of a minstrel show, edged out the Imelda Marcos disco show Here Lies Love, which received a special award for “pushing the boundaries of the musical.” Anderson took Best Actress honors for her Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire.
