'Parade' Broadway Revival Opens with Rave Reviews for Stars Ben Platt & Micaela Diamond!

Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond are back on Broadway and getting glowing reviews for their work in the revival of Parade.

The musical celebrated its official opening night on Thursday night (March 16) at the Jacobs Theatre in New York City.

Among the celebs in attendance for the event were Shazam 2‘s Rachel Zegler, Tony winner LaChanze, and Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. New York State Governor Kathy Hochul was also there and visited with the cast backstage after the show.

Parade tells the story of Leo and Lucille Frank, 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.

Variety notes that Ben is giving a “stunning performance” and that Micaela is “terrific.” They wrote, “The couple’s deepening relationship gives heart to a show whose narrative is relentlessly chilly. Their second act duets — ‘This Is Not Over Yet’ and ‘All the Wasted Time’ — make the production soar and ground it in humans terms.”

The New York Times singled out Micaela‘s star-making performance as she is the one “you watch most closely and who breaks your heart. With no affectation whatsoever, and a voice directly wired to her emotions, she makes Lucille our way into a story we might rather turn away from.”

The show is on Broadway now through August 6. Get your tickets now!
