Interview: Chris Shyer of PARADE at Proctors
Here at Proctors in Schenectady, the Broadway tour of the acclaimed revival of Jason Robert Brown’s PARADE is kicking off its run after teching on-site. For those unfamiliar, PARADE tells the true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish man living in Georgia in the early 1900s who was accused of murder. I had the privilege of speaking with Chris Shyer, who portrays Governor John (Jack) Slaton in this production. While many may recognize him from his extensive television and film work, theater enthusiasts will know him as Sam from MAMMA MIA! on Broadway or Joseph Smith from the Second US National tour of THE BOOK OF MORMON.
