About Parade (Touring)

Parade is one of the most significant and historically grounded 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 in Atlanta who was wrongly convicted of murder in 1913 and later lynched by a mob. The story is set entirely in Georgia, drawing deeply on Atlanta's own history, which makes this production far more than just a touring show stopping through town — it is a story that belongs to Atlanta in a profound and complicated way.

The musical originally debuted on Broadway in 1998 and won the Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score. Its 2023 Broadway revival at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre — starring Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond — ignited a new generation of passion for the show, earning widespread critical acclaim and introducing Parade to audiences who had never experienced its devastating beauty. That revival proved definitively that Parade is not a relic of the past but a living, urgent work that speaks directly to questions of justice, identity, prejudice, and the American South.

The touring production carries that energy onto stages across the country, and its stop at the Strand Theatre in Atlanta is nothing short of a homecoming. Watching Parade in Atlanta — the very city where these events unfolded — transforms a theatre performance into a deeply local act of remembrance and reckoning.
