Audiences at the first preview of the Broadway revival of “Parade,” were met by a group of antisemitic protesters who gathered outside the theater before the show.
Audiences at the first preview of the Broadway revival of “Parade,” a musical about the dangers of hatred, were met by a group of antisemitic protesters, who gathered outside the theater before the show, said Ben Platt, a Tony Award winner who stars in the musical. Ultimately, though, the group’s presence only reinforced that “now is really the moment’ to perform this show, Platt said in a video on Instagram.
Platt noted that security at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre kept the cast and audience members safe during the protests. “I just wanted the button on the evening, at least for me, personally to be to celebrate what a beautiful experience it is,” he said. “Not the really ugly actions of a few people who are spreading evil.” “Parade” producers shared a statement on Instagram condemning the antisemitic protests.
