Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts is renowned as one of London’s leading universities for musical theatre, with many of its graduates moving straight into jobs in the West End. The chance to see a cast of these talented students, in the final year of Mountview’s three-year Musical Theatre BA, is an opportunity not to be missed.

Parade (1998) — with sophisticated, Tony Award-winning music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown — tells the true American story of how in 1913, factory owner Leo Frank was falsely accused of rape and murder, revealing horrific, institutional antisemitism.

The last major London production of Parade was in 2011 at the Southwark Playhouse, so Jason Robert Brown fans are going to be thrilled about the chance to see it again, even in a strictly limited run of just five performances.

Award-winning director Josh Seymour worked at the Donmar Warehouse for many years as assistant and associate director, as well as more recently for the National Theatre and West End. It will be exciting to see his take on this dark, jaw-dropping musical. So come to Islington and join the Parade.

Parade runs at the Pleasance Theatre 7-10 February 2018.
