Parade Tickets

The Tony Award winning musical for Best Book, Best Original Score, and Best Revival, PARADE tells the heart-wrenching, true story of Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-raised Jewish factory worker living in Atlanta who was wrongfully convicted of the rape and murder of his thirteen-year-old employee, Mary Phagan, in 1913. Because Frank’s trial was replete with faulty testimony and lacked any clear evidence, Georgia’s governor eventually commuted his sentence from death to life imprisonment. Despite this ruling, a lynch mob hanged Frank in Mary Phagan’s hometown of Marietta, Georgia. The momentous case drew national attention to Anti-Semitism, and was pivotal to the founding of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) as well as reviving the Ku Klux Klan in the South.

With a rich and intricate score penned by Jason Robert Brown (BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY, 13 THE MUSICAL, THE LAST FIVE YEARS) matched with a poignant book by Alfred Uhry (DRIVING MISS DAISY), PARADE takes a bold dive into the complexities of early 20th-century social relationships in the South that are still unnervingly relevant today.
