There shouldn't be much to like about "Parade," the Robert Uhry/Jason Robert Brown musical now making its Boston professional premiere at SpeakEasy Stage.

And to top it all off, an audience that sits down for the two and a half hours of "Parade" can not allow itself to forget that all of this actually took place less than a century ago.

Yes free. Yes, the same Walkmen who sold out the Middle East a month ago. Just get your act together and your internet-wandering backside over to this Filter link and RSVP. Oh, and don’t stop too many times along the way over to the Cylorama, because spots are limited, and because Boston’s own DJ Carbo (a favorite to any Great Scott regulars) will be entertaining as well.

Wednesday night marked the launch of Boston Common magazine with a blowout, star-studded event at the Boston Center for the Arts’ Cyclorama in the South End. Perhaps “star-studded’ is a stretch, but by Boston standards, it was an impressive showing. Celebrities included: Steven Tyler (Boston Common cover star); Christopher Reid (event MC, and yes, Kid of Kid ‘n Play fame); Daniel Sunjata (actor, FX’s Rescue Me); Doc Rivers (Boston Celtics head coach); Todd English (celebrity...
