'Parade' Broadway revival receives mixed reviews, but Ben Platt shines.

TL;DR Summary
The Broadway revival of "Parade," a musical about the 1915 anti-Semitic lynching of Leo Frank, is flawed but has heart when it focuses on the Franks' relationship. The show's greatest asset is the youth of its stars, Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond, who come across strikingly young and make the audience care about their future. While the show's book and score are hampered by stereotypes and forgettable songs, director Michael Arden's small-scale staging has an anti-hate message that's distressingly relevant.
