I didn't think it was possible for me to love Parade more, but this was an absolutely shattering, devastating, revelatory experience. I saw it last week and I haven't stopped thinking about it. I'm going back to Boston tomorrow just to see it again (I'm going to see both closing night shows). It's short notice, but if you can see it, I can't recommend it enough.

" He definitely should have gotten the role over someone, and I'm leaning towards either Levi or Brightman. I enjoyed Levi in SLM and I didn't see Brightman, but Walker was awe-inspiring. It's a shame he didn't get a nom.

"I agree, especially the way Platt is killing it. It can't be easy--I was drained just watching him. I can't imagine living that 8 times a week.

Nic Rouleau tweeted about this, which LizzieCurry posted. He kept it, although I'm sure there was some added poignancy. I'm wondering if the cast addressed it after the show, though.

I loved it.The sum of its magnificent parts didn't quite add up to a magnificent whole, but it was daring, bold, and damn entertaining. I saw it three times--I love an underdog. And they could have knocked someone off the Best Actor Nominee list, because Walker deserved a nomination at the very least.
