About Parade (Touring)

Parade is one of the most powerful and resonant musicals in the American theatrical canon. 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 wrongly convicted of murder in Atlanta, Georgia in 1913. The story is deeply, irrevocably tied to the city of Atlanta — making this touring production's appearance here not just a theatrical event, but a homecoming of profound historical weight.

The musical originally opened on Broadway in 1998 and won two Tony Awards, including Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score. Its 2023 Broadway revival, starring Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond, brought the show to an entirely new generation of theatregoers and earned widespread critical acclaim, reigniting national interest in this stunning work. The touring production carries that renewed energy directly to audiences across the country — and now to Atlanta itself.

For Atlanta in particular, Parade carries a significance that no other touring production can match. The story unfolds in these very streets, in this city's complicated and courageous history. Watching Parade in Atlanta is not simply attending a musical — it is a reckoning with place, memory, and the ongoing pursuit of justice. The touring cast brings the same devastating emotional clarity and vocal power that made the Broadway revival a cultural moment.
