Micaela Diamond BIO

Diamond made her professional debut in the musical television special of Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert on NBC as a featured member of the ensemble. Diamond was also the understudy for Sara Bareilles' character, Mary Magdalene.

Diamond starred alongside Jarrod Spector, Teal Wicks, and Stephanie J. Block. Performances ended in Chicago on July 14, 2018. The production was then transferred to Broadway, with previews beginning on November 1, 2018, and opening night on December 3, 2018, at the Neil Simon Theatre.

In 2019, Diamond originated the roles of Lindy and Dorothy in the world premiere of Ethan Coen's A Play Is a Poem at Los Angeles' Mark Taper Forum. The play ran from September 11 to October 19, 2020, and was scheduled to begin performances Off-Broadway at the Atlantic Theater Company's Atlantic Stage 2 in New York City beginning May 14, 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
