Did Critics Join or Rain on Parade in its British Premiere at the Donmar?

london.broadway.com: "ason Robert Brown and Alfred Uhry’s 1998 musical Parade received its British premiere at the Donmar Warehouse on 24 September. Choreographer Rob Ashford (the Donmar’s Guys and Dolls, Evita) made his directing debut with the production, which features Bertie Carvel as Leo Frank, a Jewish man from Brooklyn who is accused of the murder of a young factory worker in 1913 Atlanta, and Lara Pulver as the wife, Lucille Frank, who stands by him. Did critics join a parade of praise for Parade?"

I'd like to think that one day JRB will get the respect that he deserves for the amazing stuff that he has written. I feel like anyone who has seen his work falls in love with it, and it will probably be revived in an off-Broadway setting at some point in the near future. I have not heard if he plans on writing anything else in the future, but his work is definitely brilliant.
