Review: “Parade,” the musical about the unjust conviction of a Jewish man in 1913 Georgia, stars Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond
plays Frank with an air of insouciant coldness, an affect that lends credence to the musical’s suggestion that he was not the most sympathetic victim of injustice. Platt’s splendid counterpart in this well-put-together revival, which had its official Broadway opening Thursday night at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre, is Micaela Diamond, who plays Frank’s wife, Lucille.
Director Michael Arden and set designer Dane Laffrey admirably conjure a Georgia of wild contradiction, of gentility and prejudice, of religious faith and mendacious immorality. Actors waiting to go on sit like reverent church parishioners in rows of pews facing a central wooden platform decked out in patriotic bunting.
