  3. PARADE


In the gripping musical Parade, history unfolds with a haunting melody. Set in 1913 Georgia, the story follows Leo Frank, a Jewish American factory manager, wrongly accused of a terrible crime. Anti-Semitism and prejudice run rampant as Leo faces a rigged trial and a relentless pursuit of a guilty verdict.

Through it all, Leo finds solace in the unwavering love of his wife, Lucille. Their bond becomes a beacon of hope amidst the darkness, showcasing the strength that love provides even in the face of unimaginable injustice. The powerful score by Jason Robert Brown adds depth to the characters' emotions, with soaring melodies and poignant lyrics that capture the fight for truth and the struggle against a biased system.

Parade isn't simply a historical drama; it's a call to remember. It sheds light on the dark side of American prejudice and reignites conversations about racism, religious bigotry, and the ongoing battle for justice. While the subject matter is heavy, Parade remains a powerful and thought-provoking experience. It serves as a reminder of the importance of fighting for what's right and the enduring power of love in the face of adversity.
