The revival of classic musical Parade at Hope Mill Theatre in Ancoats runs from May 13.
The Tony award-winning musical features religious intolerance, murder, political injustice and racial tension, and explores the endurance of love and hope against all odds.
London-based theatre producer Aria Entertainment has joined forces with Hope Mill and James Baker Productions to spearhead the 150-seater Manchester venue as a platform to showcase and revive musical theatre—with Parade being the first production to be presented as part of the new partnership.
The cast is led by Tom Lloyd as Leo Frank and Laura Harrison as Lucille Frank. Tom’s acting credits include Sell A Door’s Seussical in the West End. Laura recently played Tiger Lily in Peter Pan for UK Productions and is currently touring the UK with Blood Brothers.
