About Parade (Touring)

Parade is one of the most significant 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 manager in Atlanta who was wrongly convicted of murder in 1913 and later lynched by a mob — a tragedy that shook the city of Atlanta and the nation. The story is set right here in Georgia, making its connection to Atlanta audiences uniquely profound and deeply personal.

The musical first premiered on Broadway in 1998 and won two Tony Awards, including Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score. It returned to Broadway in a celebrated 2023 revival, earning widespread critical acclaim and reintroducing this essential story to a new generation of theatergoers. That revival sparked renewed national interest in the production, and the touring production carries that same energy and artistic commitment to stages across the country — including Atlanta's Strand Theatre.

For Atlanta audiences in particular, Parade carries enormous weight. The events of the story unfolded in this very city. Seeing Parade in Atlanta is not just attending a musical — it is a reckoning with local history, a meditation on justice, and a testament to the enduring power of art to illuminate truth. No other city in America experiences this show quite the way Atlanta does.
