A New York native with a prolific theatrical presence across Long Island and NYC, she is especially noted for her roles in INTO THE WOODS as the Baker's Wife and Cinderella in three separate productions. Other highlights: MARY POPPINS (Mary Poppins), LI'L ABNER (Daisy Mae), THE WIZARD OF OZ (Dorothy), GREASE (Patty Simcox), COMPANY (Susan), and Jephthah's Daughter in the NYC premiere of SACRIFICES with Original Binding Productions.
In the spring of 2015 she took on the role of Associate Producer having helped produce a concert featuring Oxford University's a cappella group Out of the Blue with special guest artist Broadway's Kristy Cates at the renowned Feinstein's/54 Below in New York City.

Jennifer Diamond Reunites with Richard Jay-Alexander at Joe's Pub 3/27
Jennifer Diamond is set to make her Joe's Pub solo debut on March 27th, at 9:30 P.M. After selling out at FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, with her debut act, IT MY FIRST TIME: PLEASE BE GENTLE, she's bringing it to the LES's music hot-spot with IT'S MY FIRST TIME: DOWNTOWN EDITION. Both were directed by longtime pal Richard Jay-Alexander. 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, visiting her arrival into the business, her story as an up-and-coming actress and all the good and bad (and bad) that goes with it. New material has been added and, of course, new stories continue in the saga of "Girl comes to New York to Take Broadway By Storm."
