Micaela Diamond

MICAELA DIAMOND is a Tony- and Grammy-Award-nominated actor best known for her recent starring role as Lucille Frank opposite Ben Platt in the Broadway revival of Parade. In this critically acclaimed musical, she played the wife of real-life Jewish lynching victim Leo Frank. This production’s exploration of antisemitism remains timely — and even more so since the October 7 attack in Israel.

Currently, Diamond can be seen in Stephen Sondheim's final musical, Here We Are. Diamond made her Broadway debut as Babe — the youngest Cher — in The Cher Show. For this performance, she was named a 2019 Theatre World Awards honoree and was nominated for Best Breakout Broadway Performance of the Decade at the Broadway World Theatre Fans' Choice Award. She has also appeared in The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical, Leonard Bernstein’s opera Mass at the Kennedy Center, Williamstown Theatre Festival’s Row, and Ethan Coen’s A Play Is A Poem in Los Angeles.

In TV and film, Diamond’s credits include Tick, Tick…Boom!, The Gilded Age, Up Here and more.
