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 originated the role of Babe, the youngest version of Cher around the age of 7–19 in The Cher Show. The Cher Show opened its world premiere at the Oriental Theatre on June 28, 2018. 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.
