T.R. Knight, Cast of ‘Parade’ Begin Run at Mark Taper Forum Tonight

The brand-new season of Grey’s Anatomy premieres tonight on primetime television, but the hospital drama is missing one of its main men - T.R. Knight (known as “George” on the show). Knight departed from Grey’s after last season’s heartbreaking finale, and now the actor is embarking upon his own premiere tonight, starting previews with the rest of the cast for the musical Parade at the Center Theatre Group’s Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. Knight takes the role of Leo Frank in the musical and also joins a star-studded cast for the production that includes Lara Pulver (Lucille Frank), Michael Berresse (Governor Slaton, Britt Craig Mr. Peavy), Charlotte d’Amboise (Mrs. Phagan, Sally Slaton) and Christian Hoff (Hugh Dorsey).

Led by T.R. Knight, the hit musical Parade starts previews tonight at the Mark Taper Forum, with an official opening date set for Oct. 4 and a closing date of Nov. 15. Parade is a highly emotional show following the arrest, unjustified conviction and lynching of Leo Frank in post-Civil war Georgia, and it is a romantic tale of American history and heartbreak. This Donmar Warehouse production of Parade is the first to be seen in the U.S., and it is a revised version of the Tony Award-winning production spearheaded by Alfred Uhry and Jason Robert Brown.
