SUMMARY:Parade
DESCRIPTION:“Parade”: A Haunting Journey Through American History \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: $40.00 (Includes Tax + Service Fee) Dates: September 05 – September 28\, 2025 Special Features: American Sign Language (ASL) interpreted performance available on the Orange date. Hearing enhancers are also provided at the tech booth for every performance\, on a first-come\, first-served basis (quantities are limited). \n\n\n\nPrepare for a deeply moving and thought-provoking theatrical experience with “Parade\,” the acclaimed Tony Award-winning musical. This powerful production delves into a dark chapter of America’s past\, exploring the true story of Leo Frank\, a Jewish factory manager wrongly accused of murder in 1913 Georgia amidst a backdrop of rampant religious intolerance\, political injustice\, and racial tension. \n\n\n\nWith a compelling book by the celebrated playwright Alfred Uhry\, known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning “Driving Miss Daisy\,” and a magnificent\, haunting score by the three-time Tony Award winner Jason Robert Brown (composer of “Songs For a New World\,” “The Last Five Years\,” and “The Bridges of Madison County”)\, “Parade” is a masterclass in storytelling. It meticulously examines how prejudice and fear can distort justice\, while simultaneously celebrating the enduring power of love and hope in the face of overwhelming adversity. \n\n\n\nThe musical is based on the infamous 1913 trial and subsequent lynching of Leo Frank. Frank\, a Brooklyn-raised Jew living in Atlanta\, was accused of killing 13-year-old Mary Phagan\, an employee at the factory he managed. Fueled by sensationalist media and rampant antisemitism\, the trial became a national scandal. Despite inconsistencies in testimony and a lack of credible evidence\, Frank was convicted. His death sentence was later commuted by the governor\, leading to his abduction from prison and lynching by an angry mob. “Parade” powerfully brings this harrowing narrative to the stage\, reminding audiences of the dangers of unchecked bigotry and the fight for truth. \n\n\n\nImportant Note: This production is best suited for mature audiences aged 17 and above due to its exploration of sensitive historical themes\, strong language\, and mature content. \n\n\n\nBooking Information: To secure your tickets\, simply select your desired date and time\, then choose your seats. Please be aware that all ticket sales are final and are not refundable or exchangeable for any reason. \n\n\n\nFind more exceptional events\, cultural highlights\, and local listings within our comprehensive Explore New Jersey Directory.
