PARADE

Tuesday, June 10 – Sunday, June 15, 2025

Winner of the 2023 Tony Award® for Best Revival of a Musical, Parade has been proclaimed “a work of art! As commanding as any musical revival to hit Broadway in years” (Deadline).

Leo and Lucille Frank are a newlywed Jewish couple struggling to make a life in the old red hills of Georgia. When Leo is accused of an unspeakable crime, it propels them into an unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice and devotion. Riveting and gloriously hopeful, Parade reminds us that to love, we must truly see one another.

Parade has received overwhelming acclaim since its debut. The New York Times said, “This revival, filled with deft flourishes by director Michael Arden, recalls an era of big casts, big stories and big talent – a time when musicals actually felt like events.” Entertainment Weekly called Parade “the most gorgeous production on Broadway.” Time Out New York stated that, “Parade will echo for a long time to come. See it before the parade passes by.” Parade is directed by Tony Award® winner Michael Arden, with book by two-time Tony Award® winner, Pulitzer Prize winner and Academy Award® winner Alfred Uhry and music and lyrics by three-time Tony Award® winner Jason Robert Brown, co-conceived by 21-time Tony Award®-winning legend Harold Prince.

& JULIET

Created by the Emmy®-winning writer from Schitt’s Creek, this hilarious new musical flips the script on the greatest love story ever told. & Juliet asks: what would happen next if Juliet didn’t end it all over Romeo?

Get whisked away on a fabulous journey as she ditches her famous ending for a fresh beginning and a second chance at life and love—her way. Juliet’s new story bursts to life through a playlist of pop anthems as iconic as her name, including "Since U Been Gone‚" "Roar," "Baby One More Time," "Larger Than Life‚" "That’s The Way It Is” and "Can't Stop the Feeling!” – all from the genius songwriter/producer behind more No. 1 hits than any other artist this century. Break free of the balcony scene and get into this romantic comedy that proves there’s life after Romeo. The only thing tragic would be missing it.
