The star and producers of the Broadway revival of 'Parade' are speaking out against an antisemitic protest outside of the show's first preview this week.

Frank was sentenced to life in prison but was lynched by a mob in 1915. He was posthumously pardoned by a Georgia state board in 1986 and today many believe he was innocent of the crime.

In this screen grab from a video, antisemitic protesters are shown outside the Parade performance in New York, Feb. 21, 2023., the protesters identified as members of the National Socialist Movement, a white supremacist group founded in 1994 that spews antisemitic rhetoric and is recognized as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

In this screen grab from a video, antisemitic protesters are shown outside the Parade performance in New York, Feb. 21, 2023."I just think that now is really the moment for this particular piece. I wanted the button on the evening…to be to celebrate what a beautiful experience it is, and what gorgeous work all my wonderful colleagues did tonight. Not the really ugly actions of a few people who are spreading evil," Platt said.

"If there is any remaining doubt out there about the urgency of telling this story in this moment in history, the vileness on display in front of our theater last might should put it to rest," the producers wrote on Instagram. "We stand by the valiant Broadway cast that brings this vital story to life each night."

Why is it antisemitic? Because it's broadway?

As they should

I don’t know anything about Leo Frank, but if he was an accused pedophile, how is this about Judaism? Also, socialists are anti-semetic White supremicists? Weird 🤔

Patrons of Broadway musical 'Parade' targeted by Neo-NazisTheater goers were antagonized Tuesday night by antisemitic protesters outside the new Broadway musical 'Parade,' which aims to shed light on that very issue. As JessicaMooreTV found out, the protest only fueled determination that the show must go on. AliBaumanTV 100% staged. AliBaumanTV Notice how they are calling them Neo-Nazis to imply they are right-wing instead of left-wing socialists? The group that was harassing theater-goers is the National Socialist Front. Its doubly ironic because the Nazi Party of Germany was also a staunchly left-wing socialist party. losers

Broadway revival 'Parade' opening night met by antisemitic protestors outside of theaterThe first preview performance of the Broadway revival of 'Parade' should have been a celebration, instead last night it was thrust into ugliness not by anything on stage, but by a vile scene outside the theater. The only time these losers mask up... Right now because of 'Parade' people are slandering Jim Conley, a Black man, to deflect from Leo Frank's guilt. Victimhood and racist ideology demands it: 'Of course it wasn't the Jew. Everyone knows it had to be the Black man.' blm jimconleymatters
