broadway revival on tour
Winner BEST MUSICAL REVIVAL at the 2023 Tony Awards!
Winner of the 2023 Tony for Best Musical Revival, Parade is heading on a North American tour, beginning in January 2025! Following a limited run at New York City Center, the Broadway revival of Jason Robert Brown and Alfred Uhry's Tony-winning 1998 musical based on the true story of Leo Frank, a wrongly convicted Georgia factory owner who was subjected to a fate born out of hatred, hearsay, and hysteria.
Directed by Michael Arden, Leo's story is told with Brown's lyrical flourish, integrating pop, rock, folk, R&B and gospel, with documentary assets from the trial itself, giving a greater poignancy to this bigotry-fuelled miscarriage of justice and humanity. In a world where we continue to see the fallout of these misled and ignorant views, the musical carries a relevancy it is impossible to ignore.
The story of Parade
With themes as timely as ever, Parade is set in Marietta, Georgia in 1913 and concerns the trial of one Leo Frank, a Jewish factory owner accused of a horrific crime. In the face of rising Anti-Semitism and media sensationalism, Leo is forced to fight for his life as the townsfolk work themselves into a frenzy.
