Controversy Surrounds Broadway's 'Parade' Musical.

TL;DR Summary
The Broadway musical Parade, which tells the story of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory superintendent who was wrongfully convicted of raping and murdering a 13-year-old girl in 1913, is being protested by neo-Nazis. The show explores how antisemitism fits into a broader system of white supremacy, alongside anti-Blackness and misogyny. While the show has been criticized for underdeveloped Black characters and a muddled attempt to address the complicity of white women in white supremacy, it remains committed to depicting how different forms of oppression can fit together in a single case.
