Parade at Ahmanson Theatre

Parade The Musical

The tale is well-known: It is 1913, and a young Jewish American couple is faced with extraordinary difficulties when the husband, Leo Frank, is faced with conviction for the murder of a 13-year old factory worker.

After an extensive, yet distorted trial heavily influenced by injustices, antisemitism, media sensation, dishonesty, and misinformation, Leo Frank is detained, and eventually lynched. This regrettable true event shaped the establishment of Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights organization, and on the opposite end, the Ku Klux Klan.

Even though the tale is heartrending and sometimes shocking, ‘Parade’ is art at its very best, exploring faith, humanity, and devotion, and is guaranteed to leave you contemplating it long after the curtain falls.

Not only does it deliver formidable social commentary, but also reminds of the power of art to question, illuminate, 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.

Awards and recognition

At the hands and from the minds of composer Jason Robert Brown, writer Alfred Uhry, and director Michael Arden, a wonderfully memorable theatrical experience was created. Anybody and everybody that have experienced ‘Parade’ live on stage are in agreement - ‘Parade’ is eerily timeless, bleeds social commentary, yet exerts nothing but power, passion, and purpose.

If you were still wondering whether it would be worth it, let the tremendous amounts of accolades do the talking. To date ‘Parade’ has received four Tony Awards, seven Drama Desk Awards, two Outer Critics Circle Awards, among a large amount of nominations.

What to expect

From the precision in portraying some heavy thematic material to the compelling score weaving together elements of folk, rock, r&b and gospel; from the visually appealing imagery to the passion and precision and jaw-dropping performances by the stellar cast; from the enthralling tale with the fierce love between husband and wife at the core; to the bits of razzle dazzle that adds to the experience as a whole - ‘Parade’ is marching on, and long afterwards you’ll think about how the outcome of it can be changed for people today.
