Micaela Diamond reprized her breakout role as “Lucille” in the impressive Broadway revival of Parade. Her character was married to Leo Frank (played by Ben Platt), a Jewish man in 1913 Atlanta who was accused of murdering a 13-year-old girl who worked in a factory he ran. Her husband/wife portrayal of her seemed so comfortable and realistic that many began to wonder if the actors were married in real life.
But are they married to an IDP? She continues reading to find out.
Is Micaela Diamond married to Ben Platt in real life?
No, Micaela Diamond is not married to Ben Platt in real life. The two were the only husband/wife on screen and one of the best.
Micaela’s character in Parade was adapted from a real person named Lucille Selig (the daughter of the city’s well-to-do and tight-knit German-Jewish community). She married Leo Frank (Ben Platt), a Cornell-educated Brooklyn Jew who moved to Atlanta and became a factory manager for the National Pencil Company.
Unfortunately, in 1913, 13-year-old factory worker Mary Phagan was found dead and Leo was suspected of murdering the white girl. So, after excessive political ambitions and sensational reports in the local press that sent the public into a frenzy of prejudice, the court sentenced Leo to hang.
But his wife Lucille didn’t give up. As her most ardent supporter, she seeks justice for her husband amid a wave of anti-Semitism. Finally, two years later, Georgia Governor John Slaton commuted Frank’s sentence to life in prison. Unfortunately, some “respectable citizens” in Phagan’s hometown of Marietta, Georgia, kidnapped Frank from his cell and lynched him.
Looking back, Ben said that Micaela was “great at this.” She helped him play out not only his role as a martyr, but also as a Jew in the early ’90s. “It doesn’t take long to feel like she’s on her way to something really big. She has that special energy that people want to be around. She also it is very significant to me that we are both the same age as Lucille and Leo at the time and that we were both raised Jewish,” he explained.
Well, Micaela (although she’s a newbie) certainly did an amazing step-by-step, note-by-note lineup of Ben.
