About Parade (Touring)

Parade is one of the most important American musicals ever written. With music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown and a book by Alfred Uhry — the Pulitzer Prize-winning Atlanta playwright behind Driving Miss Daisy — Parade tells the true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager wrongly convicted of murder in Atlanta, Georgia in 1913. The production is not just a Broadway musical; it is a piece of Atlanta's own history, making this touring engagement at the Strand Theatre a uniquely powerful homecoming.

The show earned the Tony Award for Best Musical and Best Book of a Musical when it originally opened on Broadway in 1998. Its 2023 Broadway revival, starring Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond, ignited a new generation of fans and earned widespread critical acclaim, reminding audiences why this musical endures as one of the defining works of the American stage. The touring production carries that renewed energy and emotional urgency directly to Atlanta audiences — the very city where this story unfolded more than a century ago.

For Atlanta specifically, Parade is not simply entertainment. It is a reckoning with local history, a meditation on justice and antisemitism, and a testament to the city's complex past. Alfred Uhry, who grew up in Atlanta and drew on his own family's connection to the Leo Frank case, wrote the book with an intimate knowledge of this city that no outside writer could replicate. Seeing Parade performed in Atlanta carries a weight and resonance unlike anywhere else on the touring circuit.
