Members of a neo-Nazi hate group accosted theatergoers on Tuesday evening outside 'Parade,' a Broadway play about the lynching of a Jewish man.

Masked individuals accused the people in line outside the Bernard B. Jacobs Theater, where Parade is in preview performances, of paying $300 to “worship a pedophile.”

'Parade' stars Ben Platt and is based on the true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish man convicted of ra**ng and killing a non-Jewish teenager in 1913. The case became a flashpoint for antisemitic tensions in the United States. Frank’s death sentence was commuted to life in prison by the outgoing governor of Georgia, but after being transferred to a new prison, Frank was kidnapped by a lynch mob and hanged.
