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 show tells the true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory superintendent who was wrongly convicted of murder in Atlanta in 1913 and later lynched by a mob in 1915. The production is not merely a piece of theatre — it is a reckoning with Georgia's history, with antisemitism, with racial injustice, and with the fragility of justice in America.

The musical originally premiered on Broadway in 1998 and won two Tony Awards, including Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical. Its 2023 Broadway revival at the Lincoln Center Theater, starring Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond, brought the show back into the national conversation with enormous critical acclaim and a new generation of devoted fans. That revival earned additional Tony recognition and introduced Parade to audiences who immediately understood its urgency and its resonance.

The national touring production carries that same momentum into cities across the country — and no stop on this tour carries more weight than Atlanta. This is the city where Leo Frank lived, worked, was tried, and was condemned. Seeing Parade in Atlanta is an experience that transcends a typical night at the theatre. It is a direct confrontation with local history on a local stage, and Atlanta audiences bring a unique and irreplaceable perspective to every performance.
