Had heard it's coming with Platt for a limited run (but not Michaela Diamond) - Barbican would make sense.

I thought the Barbican was tied up with Trafalgar for the next three years unless they are involved.

Will be very happy if this does indeed come over.

I have been hooked on the 2023 cast recording so would love to see this!

One of the best things I've ever seen, although it will be a shame if Diamond doesn't come because she was brilliant (and in a rare example sounded better in the theatre than on the cast recording). For what it's worth - the director Michael Arden was actually in London recently and saw next to normal. Maybe here for 'meetings' too?

I really hope this is true! I have never seen PARADE and really want to. I nearly booked a trip to New York to see this production. I love the score!

I don’t care who stars in this or not - but I love this musical and would love to see Michael Arden’s direction!

Oh I hope this happens, I'd rather without Platt personally but any Parade is better than no Parade.

Would be great to see Platt but this would also be an exceptional role for Eddie Redmayne.
Just sayin’.

This would be fantastic if true! Saw it on Broadway and loved it. Ben Platt and Micaela Diamond were both wonderful.

Seems to have pivoted firmly to directing now. He did an incredible revival of Spring Awakening with Deaf West some years ago (The production lost out on a few well-deserved Tonys because of Hamilton IMHO) |

Would they like my card number now? It is a thrilling production. Not do sure it could run long in London ad it’s not relatable. |

Why does every show need to be 'relatable'?
Why can't people enjoy/appreciate good stories well told anymore?
I've seen plenty of great theatre and film and TV that I can't relate to personally, but I've enjoyed very much.
Although I'd actually say Parade is actually very timely right now. Probably mode so than when first released

I just want to see Platt live again. His voice is something else when you’re in the room.

If Parade comes across (not gonna lie) I’m gonna go all fanboi- all dignity will go out the window!

Am personally not a fan of Jason Robert Brown’s work. And even less of Ben Platt’s…

I found it to be very affecting and emotional when the Hope Mill did it several years ago. I’ll never forget it.

Also agree on Platt I like last five years but I never listen to it. the Donmar's Parade was fine but generally I'm not a fan of his work. I doubt I'll see this unless a comp comes my way #moany |

Parade is my least favourite JRB (that I've seen!) but I'm sure I'll still go 😁

I listened to the cast recording again on my way into work today and Platt is beautifully restrained on it. I think the haters might be pleasantly surprised if they gave it a chance.
