I wish I could take a time-machine back to 1999 and see the original production of Parade. I didn't find out about that musical until like two years ago, and the cast album has become my favorite musical album.
I really wish this show had more attention, it is one of the most brilliant pieces of theatre I have ever discovered. I love every aspect of it, and I dream of directing it one day. 💙
You’re right, you spoke it into existence and now look, they just won best revival this year at the Tony’s and Michael Arden won best direction for the show!!!
Thank you for this breakdown. I'm a Black person and watching this musical, knowing the history - that last line of "introducing this whole world and fitting people who don't quite belong" hits so deep.
This man is not only a brilliant writer and pianist. He also can sing his face off!!!! I have this list of Broadway performers who are 99.9% female. I add JRB, Norm Lewis and Brian D'acrcy James to that list!
I've heard a handful of composers sing their own parts publicly (I'm thinking of Sondheim, Kitt, Tim Minchin, Eddie Perfect, LMM, Sara Bareilles, and Anais Mitchell) and I gotta say, among the ones I've heard, JRB is probably one of the most competent singers, and has one of the nicer timbres. The only ones I'd put above him are Bareilles and Mitchell, and they started out as singer-songwriters, so it's not really a fair fight.
Hi fellow JRB fans! Can anyone tell me what key he playing this in here? As a baritone this key suits me perfectly. I would like to have it played at this key for a backing track. Any help greatly appreciated! Thank you.
The new revival is AMAZING and showcases the timelessness of your music! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!

I like the dunmar version better
I sure hope you see it on Broadway NOW
You are in luck: This production is FAR superior in every way.
"the opening number tells you the rules of the show." love that perspective!

I want to hear the full version of JRB singing/ playing this! Such a phenomenally talented man
I also love this song in this key
Elliott Matthews it's on Spotify
@@gyrozeppeli289what??
I once had the honor to sing this along with him and the rest of our castr as he played and I will never forget it.

Hauntingly beautiful, tragic show. Gorgeous
The drum gives me chills
Jason Robert Brown! I love this man! The Last Five Years is genius. Haven't seen Parade yet, but I hope I can soon!

Eb Major...He's singing it in the key of the Old Soldier part (2 steps down from the Young soldier)
LapineReviews Thank you so much! Makes sense; the old soldier part I can sing comfortably.
Thank you again, I really appreciate it.
I'm a baritone and I can sing it in the original F major key. Then again, not every voice is the same. Is it an age thing?
