SYDNEY ARTS GUIDE
“Spare and stark, the production delights on many levels but there is one deliciously thrilling aspect that really takes you by surprize … the birth of some future stars.  With work as good as this, uniform excellence across the leads and some truly enjoyable performances, it’s a big call but I’m making it anyway.”

“Director Hayden Tonazzi has chosen some lovely still moments for his lead cast and those moments of intimacy, sometimes with lighting in support…And an exciting eye for the big picture.”

HONI SOIT
“Tonazzi’s direction is masterful: the pacing is brilliant and he ensures that the undulations between tragic and comic are never too jarring.”

“Authenticity is at the heart of Tonazzi’s production. All the actors deliver emotionally resonant performances and handle their American accents with aplomb—a rarity in any university production and a marvel in a cast this large.”

“Tonazzi and the cast of PARADE execute a complex and demanding work with a maturity that is to be applauded—and I have no doubt that it will be.”
