Telling the true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish man who was wrongfully accused and convicted of murdering a 13-year-old girl in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1913, Parade features a score by Brown and a book by Alfred Uhry. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1998, receiving nine 1999 Tony nominations and winning two, for its book and score. In the years since, a major revision premiered at London's Donmar Warehouse in 2007, which later played Los Angeles' Mark Taper Forum in 2009. Jeremy Jordan and Laura Benanti led a concert presentation in 2015 at New York City's then Avery Fisher Hall.
City Center's production is helmed by two-time Tony nominee Arden leaving a creative team that also includes scenic designer Dane Laffrey, costume designer Susan Hilferty, lighting designer Heather Gilbert, sound designer Scott Lehrer, projection designer Sven Ortel, choreographer Cree Grant, and music director Tom Murray.

WE WILL NEED A CAST RECORDING OF THIS!!!
I second that..
Can we make it to Broadway first then get the recording 😊
I say we need a pro-shot!
It's coming to Broadway....we will 100% get one. (With the Bway cast, which will defs not be a 1:1 replica of this one)
Glad to tell yall that it dropped this morning!
Jason Robert Brown is an icon.
One of the greatest scores ever written by the theatre by one of the greatest living songwriters, directed by one of the greatest stage directors working on Broadway today.
Ben Platt is also there.
YES AGREED
OMG. That addendeum (Ben Platt is also there.) Perfect. Icing in the cake!!!!
Saw this last night, the production was absolutely unmatched. Not a dry eye in the place! (Also, I'm literally begging, PLEASE MAKE A CAST RECORDING!!!)
Michaela is a damn queen
Ah yes, Ben Platt being amazing as always ❤️
I also really ADORE everyone else in the production, wish I could see it!
im crying my eyes out just from the preview, i am SO sad i cant go see it
Was there yesterday......incredible!!!! Just incredible! What a great cast and such well written music. I've waiting 20 years to see this and did not disappoint.
This is one of the best musicals of all time!
I was in a concert with Jason earlier this month. Can’t believe he didn’t mention this during that time, especially with such a star studded cast! He is so fun, love his work and respect him so much
ugh they sound glorious!!!
This is so good that my phone speaker blew up. 🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love this musical! It makes me cry...
I'm glad to hear this musical sung with such fervor and talent. Saw it at Lincoln Center around the Holidays in 1998 when it had its initial short run. Possibly it might have fared better to open at another time of year as it is a very dramatic and heartbreaking show.
I just hope they use the new symphonic orchestrations(which are based on the orchestrations by Don Sebesky from the 1998 Broadway production) for this concert(like the 2015 concert with Jeremy Jordan as Leo). With a cast this size(even without a choir backing them like in the 2015 Concert), it feels too good a combo(large ensemble, large sweeping orchestrations) to pass up, even if they don't develop a Cast album for this(which I WISH they would)!
If it helps with the heartbreak, Leo Frank was guilty as charged.
Heartbreakingly Gorgeous Show
What a cast!
Watching JRB play piano is one life's pleasures.
Oh I've missed those benisms ... this looks fantastic
This is one of those times where I hate living in Holland, and cannot possibly see it live... this looks and sounds phenomenal and I am enjoying every tiny bit I do get to see. What a cast and creative team! I hope they have a great run.
Bedenk je wel dat Leo Frank schuldig was, en dat deze musical een propagandastuk is.
I saw this show several weeks ago. It was absolutely incredible. I'd never heard of Leo Frank until seeing this musical. I've since looked into his case and believe he was innocent. Bravo to the cast.
Great direction.
Such amazing vocals, and elaborate, beautiful harmonies. Simply chilling. And the wonderful shot at the Confederacy in having the cast all wave white flags rather than the stars and bars (the former being the one true flag of the Confederacy).
So good to see Brody grant on Broadway the guys so fckin good getting what he deserves
I wonder why he didn’t make the Broadway transfer? Charlie Webb sounds great on the recording but it’s hard to match Brody’s voice
@@mattallen4154 my thoughts exactly! Brody portrays the young soldier so very well.
Great musical but whoever set the gain on the mic at the end very much messed up
Michaela sounds freakin phenomenal. God, no hate to Ben Platt, but I do miss Jeremy Jordan as Leo!!!
I’d love to see Michael Arden in the role of Leo. He was so amazing in Hunchback.
@@dougcargill6730 I would love to see Michael as Tom Watson! He would nail "Hammer of Justice".
@@dougcargill6730 I would prefer to see a Jewish actor as Leo
@@dougcargill6730 Speaking of Hunchback, one of the actors rounding out the cast here is William Michals, who played Father Dupin and understudied as Frollo in the La Jolla(which I saw)/Papermill Playhouse productions of Hunchback!
My friend is in the show
I'm not sure if this is always been this way, but I like that the black actors do not sing along in the old red hills. I'm not american so I'm not a hundred procent sure, but Georga was a very confederate state, right?
Yep, exactly right. I think it's a very strong choice too. I've always found that number to be so chilling....a bit like if you started off Cabaret with "Tomorrow Belongs To Me"
@@carolynerex If you look closely they do sing the final 'Old Red Hills of Home' despite staying silent during the verses praising the men of the Confederacy, showing how they still consider it their home too despite the entire history of the state being built on their oppression.
@@novelsolvings8024 Yeah! I just saw it! Very strong choices indeed! Wish I could see this live!
Sorry just realizing that Quasimodo is directing this musical.
I mean, I am absolutely looking forward to seeing what comes of this but after the 2015 concert cast... I can't see anyone else in these roles.
"just a dear evan hansen reunion"
PLEASE MAKE A CAST A CAST RECORDING
I could marry Ben's voice. Not joking
Cast album (studio or live)??????????????
If this concert is using the new symphonic orchestrations from the 2015 Concert with Jeremy Jordan, I really hope so!
I really wish Brody transferred to Broadway, he's such a star!! No hate at all to Charlie Webb though, he's phenomenal
Aaaaaaaah ...😃
Dear God...why Ben Platt???? Why ???
Ben Platt is an incredible talent but one thing that he can’t do yet is accurately or adequately portray a heterosexual man. Sorry, I just don’t buy it. In dear Evan Joseph or whatever that musical is called, I more believed he was into his male “friend” than the sister…. Work on that Ben. 😘
Dear Evan Joseph? I know that was meant to be a snarky comment but sheesh dude 😂
@@luna-mo3ol Dear Even William
@@charlesbeloved7951 Dear Evan Johnson
I completely disagree
huh . . . . i did not know jason robert brown could write fast paced songs. the bridges of madison county has to be the most boring musical ever, and the fact that sirius on broadway is so in love with playing his twenty minute slow ballads drives me fucking nuts.
Ever heard last 5 years?
Platt acting is repeated wz Evans charactors all the time. The eye squeez, the hand gesture. Actors should be able to portrait more than 1 charactors and not simply stick to the same acting choice of their previous role.
I agree. I can’t stand DEH but Parade is my favourite musical, so I was interested to see how he’d approach Leo. Maybe it’s just me, but he’s not a patch on Brent Carver or Bertie Carvel.
@@SecondValveSteam i do love DEH, also love Ben in that role. It s just outside that musical Ben just keep acting like DEH most of the time when he sing. Not 100% full on but many trait are there. Amd role like Leo, which a bit serious just dont fit the acting choice Ben use here.
This is why there should be no cameras in the rehearsal hall.
I actually disagree. I saw Ben Platt before DEH and his eye closing is something he often does himself. So that was exaggerated in DEH. And he does it here some. But his posture and carriage is so much different here than as Evan. You can see the difference in his hand gestures, posture, and other movements. You can see the small things Ben does as himself here, but his physicality is definitely different than Evan. Perhaps he should work on more control over those things, but the presence of them doesn't mean he is playing Leo Frank as Evan. Not trying to have internet arguments. Just trying to show a different perspective!
So is this going to be filmed and streamed so that those of us who don’t live in New York can have access to see it? Please say yes!!!🙏🥹
