Parade at Sarofim Hall

When director Michael Arden decided to revive Alfred Uhry’s ‘Parade’ on Broadway in 2023, he was onto something.

‘Parade’ left a colossal imprint on all theatregoers - supporters, professionals, critics, and laymen alike, and with its harrowing tale of faith, compassion, loyalty, and love in a world of division, mob mentality, misinformation, and injustice, it drove a crucial message home. With heartfelt performances by a stellar cast, striking visuals, Jason Robert Brown’s breathtaking score, ‘Parade’ received two Tony Awards, six Drama Desk Awards, and a New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Musical.

‘Parade’ is a dramatized account of the 1913 trial, conviction and eventual murder of Jewish-American factory worker Leo Frank for the murder of a 13-year old girl, as a result of defective legal proceedings, media sensationalism and misinformation. With a flawed trial and media coverage fuelled by antisemitism and a rather violent outcome, ‘Parade’ is more relevant than ever, even though the events the musical is based on, unfolded over a century ago. Whilst the production has a sense of impending doom - especially since Leo Frank’s story is well-known, is it also filled with hope and humanity, and at the very heart of it, the fierce love between Leo and his wife in a time of great distress.

‘Parade’ is a true work of art that will move you like you’ve never been moved before, the music is a masterful blend of folk, rock, R&B and gospel genres, the production has just enough razzle dazzle to captivate, and the tale is gripping - an all-around must-see.

And this summer, hot on the heels of its Broadway revival, the parade is finally marching down to the Sarofim Hall - just around the corner from you! This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - one that should be grabbed with both hands!

If it’s superb acoustics, top-shelf sound and lighting, great amenities, and comfortable seating with crystal-clear sight-lines you’re after, the Sarofim Hall is your go-to. All-in-all, an exceptional theatrical experience is on the cards!

Make sure to get your hands on those premier seats now, and see it before the parade passes by - it will stick with you long after the curtains have fallen and the theatre lights have dimmed.
