Broadway actress Micaela Diamond, currently starring in the Broadway revival of Parade, has had a breakthrough in the short time since her Broadway debut in 2018.
The wiki article below is about Micaela’s parents. Enjoy reading!!!
Who are Micaela Diamond’s parents?
Micaela stars in the Broadway revival of the musical Parade (running through August 6) alongside Ben Platt. The musical Parade, which premiered in 1998, is based on the life of Leo Frank (Ben Platt), a Jewish man wrongly convicted of murder and subsequently executed in 1915 in Georgia. Micaela plays Leo Frank’s wife, Lucille, who seeks justice for her husband amid rising anti-Semitism.
The new revival of Parade is the first Broadway production to feature Jewish actors in the roles of Leo and Lucille. If it weren’t for the implications, the production might not have encountered neo-Nazi protesters from the National Socialist Movement on the first night of its pre-Broadway run on February 21.
“Lucille is a lot like me,” says Micaela, who made her Broadway debut at 18 as Babe on The Cher Show. Micaela graduated from Fiorello LaGuardia High School in 2017 and soon after joined Birthright, a nonprofit that sponsors free, ten-day heritage trips to Israel for young people of Jewish descent between the ages of 18 and 26. During her trip to Israel, she received a call telling her she had landed her first Broadway role.
The Tick, Tick… Boom! actress is said to be very close to her parents, especially her mother, Karen, who she calls her “favorite part of the world.” Read on to find out more about them,
