Commentaires : “Parade” was first produced on Broadway in December 1998, with a book by Alfred Uhry (author of “Driving Miss Daisy”) and music by 29 year old Jason Robert Brown. Directed by Harold Prince, it failed at the box office, despite winning six Drama Desk Awards and Tony Awards for best book and best score.
Commentaires longs: It closed after just 39 previews and 84 regular performances. However, it went on to become a success on its USA national tour,
and has become a favourite with regional and college theatres in America.
This British premiere had undergone some re-writing and the inclusion of some new songs, and was much scaled-down compared to Broadway with its
lavish cannons, fire-trucks and the full panoply of the Confederate Memorial Day Parade. The Donmar production gained much in intensity and emotional strength, and was much praised.
Presse : NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "I cannot remember when the narrative and plotting of a musical last kept me engaged, let alone gripped...Parade makes a devastating, emotional show." PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, "An admirably ambitious, musically daring piece that deserves praise for attempting to intertwine the political and the personal, even if in that respect it's uneven as a piece of music drama." MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "The music and lyrics of Jason Robert Brown serve to reinforce rather than subvert the gripping story Alfred Uhry's book has to tell....Musicals primarily deal with romance: it is refreshing to find one that deals so eloquently with the roots of southern prejudice."CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAGH says, "Here at last comes an original musical of real substance." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "A powerful, engrossing evening."
