An eagerly-awaited musical in 1998 proved to be a letdown. Parade, a musical treatment of a very tragic real-life incident, turned out to be too grim for the musical stage. book:at-this-theatre-100-years-of-broadway-shows-stories-and-botto-louis-viagas-rober#p330

PARADE was produced by a young branch of The Theatre Guild, much as the initial GARRICK GAIETIES [Rodgers: May 17, 1925] had been. But PARADE was extremely political—much to the embarrassment of the Guild—and received a stormy reception. book:show-tunes-1905-1985-the-songs-shows-and-careers-of-steven-suskin-1st-ed-new-yor#p345
