Parade at Ahmanson Theatre

Parade The Musical

Leo Frank’s tale needs little introduction: It is 1913, and a young Jewish American couple is faced with trials and tribulations when the husband, Leo Frank, is wrongfully convicted for the murder of a 13-year old factory worker.

After an extensive, yet blemished trial heavily influenced by inaccuracy, antisemitism, media sensation, corruption, and false information, Leo Frank is incarcerated, and eventually lynched. This regrettable true event resulted in a posthumous pardon that was granted in 1986, and the case reopened as recently as 2019.

Even though the tale is heartrending and sometimes shocking, ‘Parade’ is the very definition of art, exploring faith, humanity, and devotion, and is guaranteed to stick with you long after the curtain falls.

Not only does it shed light on the ills of society, but also reminds of the power of art to call into question, explain, and reflect. It’s been over a century since Leo Frank’s trial, and still audience members are moved and changed by the poignancy of this tale.
