Jennifer Diamond
IT’S MY FIRST TIME
(Please Be Gentle)

Jennifer Diamond makes her Feinstein’s/54 Below debut with longtime friend Richard Jay-Alexander at the helm. They first worked together on Les Miserables and a number of benefits, and Jay-Alexander found her uniquely talented and versatile enough to put a special spin on a debut act for her, earmarking her arrival into the business, her story as an up-and-coming actress and all the good and bad that goes with it. It will be fun, humorous and heart-breaking with all song choices from Broadway and pop reflective from her own personal story.

Jennifer recently made her Carnegie Hall debut singing with Kristin Chenoweth in “The Evolution of a Soprano!” and performed at Joe’s Pub in The Lord & Master:BroadwayWorld.com Sings Andrew Lloyd Webber & Stephen Sondheim, and Everything’s Coming Up BroadwayWorld.com: A Jule Styne Tribute. She’ll next be seen this summer in the Muny’s star-studded production of Into the Woods as Florinda the Stepsister, directed by Gary Griffin, opposite Heather Headley, Rob McClure, Erin Dilly and More.

Jennifer had a whirlwind 2013-4 that both started and ended with the amazing Kristin Chenoweth including touring Australia singing at all the major venues including The Sydney Opera House all the way to the Hollywood Bowl.  She also performed in a gorgeous production of Les Miserables at The MUNY, playing The Factory Girl.  She had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Norm Lewis and Hugh Panaro, in addition to being directed by Richard Jay-Alexander!  The year also included filming the third season of the popular webseries Submissions Only, playing Belinda Tattenbaum. Other credits include the Cutting-Edge Composer’s concert that was part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival and a benefit concert for the Broadway Dreams Foundation as part of the New York faculty. Jennifer had the pleasure singing “I Will Never Leave You” from Side Show with Eden Espinosa. Jennifer was also seen starring as “Lucy” in the Jekyll & Hyde NYC Concert (opposite Robert Petkoff) under the coaching of Frank Wildhorn. Other credits include Man of La Mancha, Fiddler on the Roof(Barrymore nomination), CATS, Evita, and the national tour of If This Hat Could Talk (starring Melba Moore and Stephanie Mills).

The evening will feature Musical Director Joseph Thalken, Dick Sarpola on Bass and Perry Cavari on Drums.
