Description
The cynics are crushed. The arrival of the Alfred Uhry-Jason Robert Brown musical Parade as Appleseed Productions' season premiere was greeted with--let's face it--more apprehension than exhilaration. Despite the near-cult status for the CD, the original Hal Prince-produced Parade (1998) ran only a measly 39 previews and 89 performances. Many find the Brown score, ahem, an acquired taste. And the book, about an outrageous miscarriage of justice in 1913, looks from afar like a downer. All of this is in the hands of an inexperienced director, Meghan L. Pearson (not to be confused with her mother and assistant director, Deborah Pearson), who marshals more than 30 performers, often all on stage at the same time. Well, audiences have to be prepared to be surprised, in C.S. Lewis' words, surprised by joy. Parade is currently running on the boards at Appleseed's stomping grounds, the Atonement Lutheran Church, 116 W. Glen Ave.
