Center Theatre Group announced the cast for the upcoming production of the musical "Parade". Previews start on September 24, 2009, at the Mark Taper forum. Opening night is set for October 4 and performances will concluded on November 15. Parade won the Tony Award for Best Book and Best Original Musical Score. The play takes place in 1913 Atlanta and tells the story of a Jewish man who was convicted of the murder of 13-year-old factory worker.

In a time of religious intolerance, political injustice and racial tension, the musical explores the endurance of love and hope against all the odds," states Donmar (director of the producation).
