The celebrated Donmar Warehouse production of PARADE will be getting its American premiere in Los Angeles at the Mark Taper Forum. Dates are September 24 – November 15, 2009.
The press release will be officially released by the theatre at 5pm PDT today.
"It does what a musical is supposed to do; it takes you to another world. And it gives you a little tune to carry in your head. Something to take you away from the dreary horrors of the real world. A little something for when you're feeling blue. You know?"

Posted: 8/14/08 at 3:30pmUnless House of Blue Leaves is running over a year well into 2009, I don't really see there being much of a conflict.

Posted: 8/14/08 at 4:06pmmy mistake....I misread it as 2008 rather than 2009....I still find it odd that the Taper would bother putting out a press release for a production thats more than a year away

Posted: 8/14/08 at 4:07pmWell, as I mentioned, the press release has not been issued yet, and it may not show up in the papers till later. It's nice to know that people are slamming me about the news rather than thanking me for the scoop. I'll keep all other scoops to myself and my friends!

Posted: 8/14/08 at 5:01pmI think that's amazing news. Have been hitting myself for months about missing this in London (I'm MUCH closer to London than LA) but will seriously consider travelling to the West Coast if this will happen. I love the Donmar CD!

Posted: 8/14/08 at 6:50pmGetting the production to LA is a no-brainer move. About 50% of theatre audiences in LA are estimated to be jewish. It should be a big hit.

Posted: 8/14/08 at 7:03pmI saw it in London and it was wonderful. Above and beyond my high expectations. The Taper - newly renovated - will be a terrific space for it.
Faced with these Loreleis, what man can moralize!
