Set in the early 20th century in Atlanta, Parade tells the heart-wrenching, true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish American who was unfairly put on trial for the murder of thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan. Even before the trial begins, Frank is guilty in the eyes of everyone in town, and a sensationalist publisher and a janitor's false testimony seal his fate. His only defenders are a governor with a conscience and his dear wife, Lucille, who finds the strength and love to become his greatest support.
The show delves into the social and political tensions of the time, including issues of racism, anti-Semitism, and the power dynamics between the North and South of the United States. It also explores the relationship between Leo Frank and his wife, Lucille, who tirelessly fights for his freedom. Parade is a powerful exploration of injustice and the importance of not forgetting history.
Written by playwright, Alfred Uhry, and music by Jason Robert Brown, Parade has become one of the most popular musicals in the 21st century, showing the importance of human resilence, the fight for human rights, the realities of social struggle, and the ongoing need for change.
PARADE is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
