Amid religious intolerance, political injustice and racial tension, the stirring Tony Award-winning Parade explores the endurance of love and hope against all the odds. With a book by acclaimed playwright Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy) and a rousing, colorful and haunting score by Jason Robert Brown (Songs For a New World, The Last Five Years, Bridges of Madison County), Parade is a moving examination of the darkest corners of America's history.

In 1913, Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-raised Jew living in Georgia, is put on trial for the murder of thirteen-year-old Mary Phagan, a factory worker under his employ. Already guilty in the eyes of everyone around him, a sensationalist publisher and a janitor's false testimony seal Leo's fate. His only defenders are a governor with a conscience and, eventually, his assimilated Southern wife who finds the strength and love to become his greatest champion.

Daring, innovative and bold, Parade is filled with soaring music and a heart-wrenching story, offering a moral lesson about the dangers of prejudice and ignorance that should not be forgotten. Groups looking for powerful, moving theatrical experiences will need to look no further than this unforgettable show.

What is the orchestration of the musical you are actually licensing?
The site says there's a smaller orchestra, but the recording sounds like it's larger (I can hear two reed parts at the same time, for example). I'm looking to do the show with a smaller orchestra, but I'm not sure if that's actually being licensed.

Is this the 2009 revised version?
I see that the website claims this is the 2009 revised version, which is based on the 2007 Donmar revival. But, the song/cast list does not reflect that change. So, I'm curious which version you are licensing??
