DR Julie and I were at the Fred Ebb Foundation party at the Roundabout last night honoring Douglas Cohen getting the Fred Ebb Award, and most of all celebrating Fred Ebb's legacy. I'd sensed some surprising vibe when people were talking about The Scottsboro Boys, but now looking back it seems clear that those involved with the show must already have known about the closing announcement coming today. Clearly, some people knew and were smart or considerate enough to have held back making it public until after the Monday night tributes to Mr. Ebb could go on and not be mixed with the sadness of this Scottsboro Boys closing.
