See Parade on Broadway's Micaela Diamond sing, in a new, paired-down arrangement featuring Todd Reynolds on the violin and Andrew Resnick on the piano.
Obviously her voice is amazing, but holy smokes, the acting!! I can't believe she's only 23. She sings with the maturity of someone twice her age. You can really tell she has studied and internalized this part of a woman holding onto their dignity in the face of invasive press coverage.
I think the reason why is because Micaela interpreted the song as angry because of the fact that they would have such a one sided view on someone they dont even know as well as Lucille knows Leo.
Mrs Micaela Diamond and Mr Ben Platt are both extraordinary. They inspire me to become the first poet artist and writer with Autism to win a Oscar Emmy Grammy Tony BAFTA SAGAFTRA and Golden Globe in March 2024 next year. I am 29 years old and I work for Mobileye in Jerusalem Israel.
Unfortunately this is even better than the cast recording. I love it but her delivery is getting even better and the mixing on the voice is way better. The solo violin is even more inspired than the arrangement.
You don't know this man You don't know a thing You come here with these horrifying stories These contemptable conceits And you think you understand how a mans heart beats And you don't know a thing You don't know this man You don't even try When a man writes his mother every Sunday Pays his bills before they're due Works so hard to feed his family There's your murderer for you And you stand there spittin' words That you know aren't true Then you don't know this man I don't think you could You don't have the right to know A man that wise and good He is a decent man He is an honest man And you don't know And you never will Not from me, not from anyone who knows him Not a morsel, not a crumb, not a clue I have nothing more to say to you
I saw her last night and I gotta be honest, she was the WORST part of the show. Her voice is beautiful but her accent work reallllly needs help. She kept switching to British and a BUNCH of us audience members really struggled with it because it kept taking us out of the play. For MT to work, you need to have singing dancing and acting.
