Last month, this musical had neo-Nazi protestors outside of the Bernard B. Jacobs Theater the night of the first preview. But, as the show proves, love overcomes hate.
Diamond and Platt are the first pair of lead actors in the musical that are both Jewish. Diamond explained the importance.
"It’s less pressure for me. We don’t have to put a hat on a hat. I mean, we’re really just playing these Jewish people. We don’t have to put any Jewish things on them, which helps in that we were cast as Jewish people." "We did a reading of this back in 2018, which was the first time we met and spent time together. And of course, the pandemic has happened since then. So, this iteration is quite different than that iteration. But I think we felt immediately – a synergy as people.
The musical shines the spotlight on a difficult topic matter, but still finds moments of levity to make the crowd laugh. "When you’re seeing a piece that has a lot of heaviness and deals with difficult issues, it’s important to make it ‘take-in-able’ for the soul and give people some joy, and beauty and hope through the music," Platt continued. "But just as characters, people that are going through horrific and unimaginable things still laugh and still have moments where they fight, moments where they love each other, and moments where they hate each other.
Opening night for Parade is slated for March 16 at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theater. It runs through August 6.
