it's what the musical is about. I might debate that. It's certainly how the musical ends - but is it really what the body of the musical is literally about? I'm not trying to play a semantics game - but let's keep in mind that Leo isn't sentenced to die until the end of Act I. (In fact, once could even make a case that for anyone unfamiliar with the Leo Frank case - and I'm sure there are many people to whom that applies - the noose image could even be a spoiler of sorts.) I'm not saying Leo's hanging isn't ultimately a crucial part of the story. But I'm not sure I'd say the show (as a whole, including all of Act I) is "about" that. It's just one element of the plot.
