Bardon Talent Among Local Cast<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bardon-based actor, singer and dancer Mabel Tamone joins the ensemble of \u201cParade\u201d as Mary Phagan. Ms Tamone began her career at a young age, appearing in international productions such as Les Mis\u00e9rables and the 2018 film Aquaman alongside Jason Momoa and Amber Heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She is among several Queensland performers contributing to the production, which includes talent from suburbs such as Woolloongabba, Redland Bay, and Varsity Lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Brisbane Debut of Critically Acclaimed Musical<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The musical \u201cParade,\u201d based on the true story of Leo Frank, will open its first Queensland season at the Ron Hurley Theatre from 18 July to 3 August. The production marks the work’s first return to Brisbane in more than twenty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presented by Bump In Productions, the show features an all-professional cast and creative team, many of whom are Brisbane-based, including a teenage performer from Bardon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historical Story Returns to Stage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Originally premiering in 1998, \u201cParade\u201d centres on Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager in Georgia, United States, who was wrongfully convicted of murder in 1913. The case became a flashpoint for rising antisemitism and political division in early 20th-century America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite its brief Broadway run, the musical received two Tony Awards and later saw renewed recognition with a 2023 revival, earning further accolades for its revival production.<\/p>\n\n\n

Local Creative Team<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The show is directed by Cleveland\u2019s Johnny Peek, with musical direction from Michael Keen of Wynnum and choreography by Taigum-based Maureen Bowra. Bump In Productions, the Sydney-founded company behind the season, has a history of presenting lesser-known but critically successful musicals across Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lead roles of Leo and Lucille Frank are played by Michael and Belinda Lewis, who reside in Paddington. The couple also co-founded Bump In Productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broader Community Representation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The cast and crew reflect a wide cross-section of the greater Brisbane community. Cast members live across the city, from Bridgeman Downs to South Brisbane and from Slacks Creek to Alexandra Headland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
