‘Parade’ at Playhouse Square Marches to a Fervent Beat
8 / 10
Shaker Heights High School Alum Max Chernin is compelling as Leo Frank as his trust in the legal system is shaken to the core. Talia Suskauer as his wife Lucille shows a rare kind of fortitude standing up for her husband. Both have amazing singing voices that truly shine when they perform duets. Jack Roden as Prosecutor Frankie Epps does a fine turn as the conniving public servant bent on furthering his own career. Lastly, there is Ramone Nelson as Black Janitor Jim Conley who is tasked with two incredible show stopping solos.
