For a strictly-limited two week run, this exciting new revival will utilise the intimacy of London Theatre Workshop’s space with a talented and versatile cast of thirteen actors in multiple roles. Originally staged on Broadway and in London at the Donmar Warehouse, the multi-Olivier nominated show features music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown, the virtuosic composer of “Last Five Years” “Songs For a New World” “The Bridges of Madison County” and book by Academy Award winner Alfred Uhry, screenplay writer of “Driving Miss Daisy”.

Parade is based on the true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager from Brooklyn accused of the murder of a 13 year old employee. Set in Atlanta, Georgia at the beginning of the twentieth century, the story builds around Leo Frank’s trial as it becomes sensationalised by the bigoted, zionistic press, against a backdrop of National uncertainty and change.

The Broadway production of ‘Parade’ was garnered with two Tony awards for Best Book and Best Music as well as the Best New Musical at the Drama Desk and The New York Drama Critic’s Circle Awards
