   It was sensationally directed and performed. Easily one of the best pieces of theater I’ve seen this year, and I’ve been to 32 productions already.

   The acting, singing and staging were amazing. I’ve been coming to the Chance Theater a few times a year for several years now, and this was definitely the best show ever. I felt like I was seeing it on Broadway, not in a local theater.

    Of the 3 most recent Chance productions we’ve seen, Parade was the best. It spoke to us more profoundly than any of them. Although we were familiar with the Frank story, we came away from the experience having LIVED it through the actors.

    This play, “Parade” turned out to be riveting! Kudos to the direction, the costumes, the actors (especially Allen Everman who played Leo Frank) and most importantly, the chairs… It was amazing, heartbreaking, breathtaking and any other adjective that you would like to use. And, it was based on a true story….. I loved it!

    Since the 1960’s I have seen hundreds of plays in NYC, LA & Washington DC, your production of Parade is one of the finest thrilling I have ever experienced. It was truly Broadway in Anaheim. A Thousand Thanks

    I enjoyed my second viewing even more than my first, and I heard others say the same thing. The simple staging was remarkably effective….

    I was particularly impressed with the talent, and with the staging. It was like the people of Atlanta were clearly a dominant character.

    This was the best show I’ve seen. The story was intense and ingrossing. I didn’t know anything about the subject matter so the ending was startling and moved me to tears. The singers were excellent…

    The show is perfect. I’m so critical and typically dislike most things I see, but I was completely lost in the story for EVERY MOMENT. It’s genius. The individual performances are stellar, but the most impressive moments of the show are ensemble driven. I’m telling everyone I know to drop everything and come see this.

    FANTASTIC performance! I can’t believe what was done with just chairs and tables as on-stage props. It was beyond creative. All the movements of the actors were absolute PRECISION, they were spot on perfect with every step. The voices were wonderful, the acting was superb, each and every actor on stage was perfect in his and her role.

    I love how much effort all of the actors put into their craft. I also loved how they took the time to talk to the audience during the post-show discussion.
    My favorite part about the Chance is how it makes such an effort to have a conversation with the audience and connect with them. It’s nice to be able to ask the actors questions about the musical and their thoughts.

    Love the intimacy of the small theater. The acting and stage production is on par with larger productions but how often can you really get that close to the action? I can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars on front row seats at Segerstrom so I love the ‘up-close and personal’ that I get at Chance.

    Loved the Salon session pre show. Enlightening! That kind of engagement makes us feel like we’re on the inside, which serves a better understanding of the work.

    I loved it so much and loved all the characters. I loved the music, and the performance of all of the artists. I would love to see it again. I have recommended this play, to all who will listen.

    Amazing show in a very stripped down production. The story, music and actors were the focus. Allen Everman as Leo Frank and Robert Collins as Jim Conley were amazing. I went opening night and look forward to seeing it again close to the end of the run.

    The director’s staging (and overall direction) was really creative and fantastic, and my daughter was especially impressed with the performance of the actor portraying Leo Frank. The singers were fantastic and all actors were very engaging and had great stage presence. Great lighting, too.
