Slow Burn Theatre Company presents Parade, a powerful and poignant musical revival based on the true story of the trial and lynching of Leo Frank, as part of its 2024/2025 Season, supported by American National Bank and Visit Lauderdale, from Saturday, February 8 – Sunday, February 23, 2025, including an open-captioned performance on Sunday, February 16 at 2 p.m. in the Amaturo Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

Winner of the 1999 Tony Awards for Best Score (Jason Robert Brown, who also wrote the lyrics) and Best Book of a Musical (Alfred Uhry), as well as the 2023 Tony for Best Revival of a Musical, Parade, co-conceived and directed on Broadway by Harold Prince, follows a newlywed Jewish couple, Leo and Lucille Frank, who are struggling to make a life in the old red hills of Georgia. When Leo is accused of an unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice, and devotion.

Hailed as “an essential American musical” by Variety, Parade is a “phenomenal production that feels more poignant and powerful than ever,” according to Entertainment Weekly. Time Out New York writes, “What you hear at this Parade… will echo for a long time to come.”
