Premiered in December 1998, this Tony Award-winning musical comes to Austin via Ground Floor Theatre. Lisa Scheps helms this based-on-a-true-story drama with choreography from Richard Cerato and Adam Roberts directing the Jason Robert Brown-penned music. The performance follows the tale of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager sentenced to life in prison and later killed by a lynch mob, and explores racism, antisemitism, and community through its songs. – James Scott
