Brutal legal drama contrasts with haunting pastoral lyricism as an unlikely love story unfolds-a unique blend of tones that won both Brown and Uhry Tony Awards (for Original Score and Book respectively).Īlmost a quarter of a century later, Parade’s urgent exploration of the bitter roots of American bigotry couldn’t be more timely.
Inspired by historical events, Parade follows the Franks-a Jewish couple living in Marietta, Georgia-as they’re pulled apart and drawn together by Leo’s 1913 murder trial, conviction, appeal, and eventual lynching. Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award winner Ben Platt ( Dear Evan Hansen) returns to the New York stage as Leo Frank alongside Micaela Diamond ( The Cher Show) as Lucille Frank in this starry Gala presentation of the Jason Robert Brown ( Songs for a New World) and Alfred Uhry ( Driving Miss Daisy) musical.
