Bryn Harvey RaymondGUEST
I'm so excited.
Lindsay EricksonHOST
Ashlyn Maddox was in Parade.
Lindsay EricksonHOST
She's our Wendla or Lea Michele.
Lindsay EricksonHOST
I don't know anything about this girl.
Lindsay EricksonHOST
I really don't remember her from Parade.
Bryn Harvey RaymondGUEST
She had like a very small role in Parade, but she has since been in like, I feel like she is one of those people who is so booked and busy, but it's like doing a lot of regional productions.
Bryn Harvey RaymondGUEST
Like I feel like she's always doing something.
Bryn Harvey RaymondGUEST
I saw her in Bull Durham at Paper Mill Playhouse, the baseball musical.
RJ Miller-ZelinkoHOST
They're just like, let me just drop this photo in front of you, because this was a real human being that died at a very young age doing what she believed in, even though she knew that she was terminally ill. she kept going she gave up her you know basically her entire life or adult life for women's rights really um and so i think yeah we don't feel that i mean we just saw hamilton right and i was like there was no point in this where i was like wow he like really did this thing for the people it it kind of all feels a lot like he did this for himself right which we know because legacy is a big theme in that show but um yeah two very different but but the the broadway-esque of it all like hamilton sells out for three weeks suffs struggles to sell out or to sell i shouldn't even say sell out um for two weeks um but also the nature of apologetics
Brian KitsonHOST
You know, I do have to just say as well, as you were talking about the show, RJ, it crossed my mind that this reminds me kind of, not with story context, but the way it's presented, of Parade, which is interesting because I really loved that show too.
Brian KitsonHOST
But like they actually used the real photos of people.
Brian KitsonHOST
They used real experiences.
Mairi Dorman-PhaneufGUEST
And so at first I kind of lit up and loved this.
Mairi Dorman-PhaneufGUEST
And then about a month later, Parade.
Mairi Dorman-PhaneufGUEST
It was a month, couple of months later.
Mairi Dorman-PhaneufGUEST
Parade, I was hired to play that as it came through Denver.
Mairi Dorman-PhaneufGUEST
Because Denver is one of the towns where you have to hire local musicians.
Elbi CespedesHOST
It was an out of town.
Mairi Dorman-PhaneufGUEST
And how important I knew it was in some part of my soul.
Mairi Dorman-PhaneufGUEST
I knew that this cello solo was important.
Hannah MooneyHOST
That's a good point, yeah.
Hannah MooneyHOST
Yeah, I had a lot of chat with a couple of the cast members from Parade who I had on that, the ticket.
Connor MaxwellGUEST
Quality show, 10 out of 10.
Hannah MooneyHOST
Peak.
Hannah MooneyHOST
your first time playing a bad guy?
Jack TurnerGUEST
No, and especially this year.
Jack TurnerGUEST
I think every actual musical I've been in, I've been some form of a bad guy, because Parade, Britt Craig was kind of like a morally corrupt journalist, kind of bad guy for half of it.
Jack TurnerGUEST
Matilda, I was just reveling and terrorising the little kids as a big kid, and now I'm... completing the cycle as a full blown super villain.
Casey BalshamHOST
You have known him from so many different things.
Casey BalshamHOST
He's a writer, he's an actor, a composer, a lyricist, the writer of Chicken and Biscuits, Bow with the Musical, Table 17, Polka Dots, Don't Touch My Hair, Five Points, Pure Glitter, a bunch of other things, as well as acting in Book of Mormon, Beautiful, and Parade.
Douglas LyonsGUEST
I have Douglas Lyons
Casey BalshamHOST
here.
10 MINS LATER
Douglas LyonsGUEST
Was
Casey BalshamHOST
it with Michael Arden?
Douglas LyonsGUEST
Yeah, we were doing Parade at the time.
Douglas LyonsGUEST
And I think I can tell this story.
Jason Robert BrownGUEST
I deliberately was like going back to Gypsy and to shows that had a very sort of old school structure to them.
Zak KuhnHOST
How do you make some of these opening numbers work, like the Hills of Home for Parade, which is like contextually what the musical is about, but it's not really what the main plot is about, or even to build a home from Bridges of Mass and County, you sort of go back in time, and again, not really talking what the show... is about, but they still work.
Zak KuhnHOST
So how do those work? I think
Jason Robert BrownGUEST
in those cases, both of those are functioning as prologue.
Jason Robert BrownGUEST
I want to give you enough information that dramaturgically I can then jump into the story without having to do anything else.
Jason Robert BrownGUEST
And musically, and this is really what's important, is that musically you know what the world of the show sounds like.
Jason Robert BrownGUEST
And so in the case of Parade, I don't think you can understand the story of Leo Frank without talking about the Civil War.
Jason Robert BrownGUEST
I think you have to go back and talk about what that was to Atlanta, to Georgia.
Laura Marie RiveraHOST
I was teaching a class at UW, University of Washington, shortly after we moved to Seattle.
Laura Marie RiveraHOST
And I don't know, I guess I said something about Parade and Jason Robert Brown, and the whole class just stopped and listened.
Laura Marie RiveraHOST
Obviously, they were musical theater kids, but...
Laura Marie RiveraHOST
I wasn't really thinking about the weight that that carries and the Tony Awards and all of that.
Mickey JoHOST
I'm alluding to the, like, decades-long filming of Merrily We Roll Along that he is still, I presume, involved in.
Mickey JoHOST
Honestly, you could do worse than to recruit him and Michaela Diamond, who starred together in Parade, a production that was rumoured to transfer to London...
Mickey JoHOST
They would be a great George and Dot together, and they would have that requisite special connection, as I'm sure he would with a handful of other actresses, and it needn't necessarily be stars from the US.
Mickey JoHOST
The other person I would be calling straight away, though I think he would be a challenging get given the optics of the whole thing, would be Andrew Garfield.
MayaHOST
I would say
Hannah Lauren WilsonGUEST
Leo Frank in Parade.
MayaHOST
Why could I actually see that if they gendered it? Like, I could see it.
MayaHOST
Like, I know, obviously, you know, it would probably be hard to school based on my own story, but I could totally see it.
Hannah Lauren WilsonGUEST
Oh, yeah.
Hannah Lauren WilsonGUEST
That shows, like, there's two shows that mean everything to me.
Hannah Lauren WilsonGUEST
One of them is Ragtime and the other one would be Parade.
Hannah Lauren WilsonGUEST
So, yeah, I would say Leo Frank because what a role.
Laura Marie RiveraHOST
I was teaching a class at UW, University of Washington, shortly after we moved to Seattle.
Laura Marie RiveraHOST
And I don't know, I guess I said something about Parade and Jason Robert Brown, and the whole class just stopped and listened.
Laura Marie RiveraHOST
Obviously, they were musical theater kids, but...
Laura Marie RiveraHOST
I wasn't really thinking about the weight that that carries and the Tony Awards and all of that.
