Parade is by far the best revival on Broadway right now! Ben Platt and his costar Michaela Diamond give masterclass performances that CANNOT be missed! Jason Robert Brown's score will bring all different emotions out of you! Lastly, Michael Arden's staging of the show is unlike anything I have seen before. A very stripped-down set that focused more on the story and the acting. If you are in NYC, please go see this musical! You will not be disappointed! Take tissues with you, though!

Michaela was incredible as Babe in the Cher Musical too!

You into murdering Ped0z and blaming black folk for their crime?

Ben! If you’re a musical nerd, please think about attending “Broadway Con” July 21-23. It’s been held for quite a few years, but I just heard about it.

[@kenlasky3904]

Huh! My “original” comment seems to have disappeared! I mentioned that after I saw the show, I did some research on the story and the 1913 trial. It “put my soul in turmoil” and I spoke to a rabbi about it. (I’m not Jewish!). It is amazing how the show captures the emotion of the real story. The opening songs set the mood of southern patriotism.

How absolutely horrible!! Sadly, hate isn’t new. Only God can change hearts.🙏🏽

Yeah, Leo Frank's a child-murdering, ped(0)racist
