For a Broadway musical, 'Parade' is a rare tragedy

Post Gazette: "The musical 'Parade' is not another version of 'No, No Nanette.'
The big production numbers don't showcase pretty dancers in frilly smocks, but a Georgia lynch mob out for blood. The hero doesn't waltz across the stage in white tie and tails, but wears glasses, suspenders and keeps his head in business ledgers. Finally, unlike many Broadway shows, 'Parade' has a plot, drawn from a dark moment in the country's past."
