“Parade” is a Tony Award-winning musical with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown and a book by Alfred Uhry.

The musical explores themes of anti-Semitism, prejudice, and injustice, and features a score that blends elements of traditional Broadway and Southern folk music. The original production of “Parade” received nine Tony nominations, winning two, including Best Book and Best Original Score. The show has been produced in theaters around the world and has become a favorite of theater lovers for its powerful story and emotional score.

The Broadway transfer of “Parade” began previews at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on Feb. 21 and officially opened on March 16. The production is playing a limited run through Aug. 6.
