 Parade Sheet Music (Vocal Selections)
- Parade Original Broadway Cast Recording
|
Parade is the sombre reenactment of actual events that occured in Atlanta, Georgia in 1913.
Although Leo Frank was convicted of the murder of Mary Phagan, there were many who viewed his conviction as based on anti-sematism rather than evidence. While originally sentenced to death, Leo's sentence was commuted to life imprisonment by Georgia's Governer. Within 2 months of Leo receiving the commuted sentence, he was lynched - dragged from the prison and hung from a tree.
This show reflects Alfred Uhry's personal view that Jim Conley, the factory's janitor, was the actual killer.
