Keenan Scott II is Back with New Musical
Keenan Scott II ’09 debuted his latest stage work to a sold-out audience in New York City this past October. The writer of the critically acclaimed Broadway show Thoughts of a Colored Man held a public reading of his new musical, The Return of Young Boy, at Below 54. The story centers on a young man named Prophet who returns home following a five-year absence after the death of his beloved grandfather. Prophet is reunited with friends and loves from his past and soon discovers that his grandfather wasn’t the man who he thought he was. The musical “grasps firmly onto the imagination and originality of classic musicals like The Wiz and is “inspired by African folklore and ancient civilizations.” Scott wrote the book and shares a music and lyrics credit with Tré Matthews.
