Jason Robert Brown is now a household name but before Parade no one really knew who he was. The Last Five composer first took Songs for a New World off broadway and rose to acclaim with Parade. Now he’s bringing 13 the story of a young boy who’s life is turned around when his parents start going through a divorce. Uprooted from New York Evan Goldman needs to find his place in the ever changing social conundrum which is a new school.
The show is being brought to the stage by The British Theatre Academy after their triumphant performance of The Secret Garden last year.
The set is minimalist and simple with a large map of Appleton Indiana to show us where each scene is happening. Colourful and vibrant, it’s a well used device.
