PARADE
Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown
Book by Alfred Uhry
The tragic, true story of the trial and lynching of a man wrongly
accused of murder is brought to emotional and theatrical life by
acclaimed playwright Alfred Uhry ("Driving Miss Daisy") and
Jason Robert Brown, one of Broadway's most promising young
composers ("Songs For A New World").
In 1913, Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-born Jew living in Georgia, is put on
trial for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, a factory worker under
his employ. Already guilty in the eyes of everyone around him, a
sensationalist publisher and a janitor's false testimony seal
Leo's fate. His only defenders are a governor with a conscience,
and, eventually, his assimilated Southern wife who finds the strength
and love to become his greatest champion.
