With a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Alfred Uhry, a score by Brown, and co-conceived by Tony Award winner Harold Prince, PARADE tells a controversial story of the 1913 trial of Jewish factory manager Leo Frank (Jordan), who was accused and convicted of raping and murdering a 13-year-old employee, Mary Phagan, in Atlanta, GA. PARADE was Brown's first Broadway production.
