A list focused on the discussion of the Broadway musical Parade and the real life Trial of Leo Frank in the murder of Mary Anne Phagan. Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy) wrote the libretto and Jason Robert Brown (Songs For a New World) penned the music and lyrics to Parade, drawing on the real-life story of a Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager who is wrongly accused of murdering Mary Anne Phagan in 1913 Atlanta. Uhry and Brown both won Tony Awards for their work, which was seen December 1998 to February 1999 at Lincoln Center Theater's Vivian Beaumont Theatre starring Brent Carver and Carolee Carmello with Herndon Lackey, John Hickok, Kirk McDonald, Rufus Bonds, Jr., Evan Pappas, John Leslie Wolfe, Jeff Edgerton, and Don Chastain. The show went on to have a touring company starring David Pittu and Andrea Burns, with Keith Byron Kirk. On this list, you can feel free to discuss all aspects of Parade, including the case, the trial and lynching of Leo Frank. You will also find news and discussion posted on Jason Robert Brown's other works including Songs for a New World, The Last 5 Years, and Urban Cowboy.
