"Revamped 'Parade' Marches onto Broadway with Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond"

The Broadway revival of the musical "Parade" tells the story of Leo Frank, a Jewish man lynched by an antisemitic mob in Georgia in 1915. The show, which features a rapturous score by Jason Robert Brown, emphasizes the love story between Leo and his wife Lucille, played by Micaela Diamond, who delivers a heart-wrenching performance. The production, directed by Michael Arden, highlights the quick path hysteria can burn through the American spirit if fanned by media, politicians, and prejudice of any kind. The show runs through August 6 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theater.
