I heard a rumor that Roundabout almost did it? Is there any truth to this and if there is, then why didn't it happen?
Benanti and Jordan were both fantastic in the concert and the two of them in a show together would be quite a hot ticket.

As far as I know, Roundabout has never really pursued a Parade revival.
"...everyone finally shut up, and the audience could enjoy the beginning of the Anatevka Pogram in peace."

I wouldn't go so far as to say Jordan and Benanti would make the show a hot ticket. Maybe for theatre-lovers like us, but not for the general public. Even if they were really big-name actors, the show itself is still a tough sell.
But oh man I would LOVE for Parade to be revived. The concert was incredible, and I just love the show. Benanti and Jordan were great, but if there's one person from the concert who I would die to see again, it's Josh Henry. If he played that role on Broadway as well as he did in the concert, I think the Tony would be his for the winning.

I thought Benanti was a big disappointment in that concert, but Jordan was absolutely fantastic. I'd LOVE to see what he could do in a fully staged revival.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

I hope Carmen can be Lucille some day.
In our millions, in our billions, we are most powerful when we stand together. TW4C unwaveringly joins the worldwide masses, for we know our liberation is inseparably bound.

Just as they don't replicate the bloated original and do the Donmar Warehouse version instead.
Anyway it is doomed to failure, as Americans don't like self analyst and criticism, which Parade does.

I know it's unlikely for a commercial-driven production, but there's always the nonprofits to hope for! They should also take advantage of the interest in Making A Murderer which has similar themes across both stories.
