Скачать или смотреть Many Lives, One Legend Con Daphne Rubin-Vega

This week, we sit down with the powerhouse herself — Daphne Rubin-Vega, a true Broadway icon, actor, singer, producer, wife, and mother who's lived many lives and still keeps evolving.

Daphne gets real about her journey — from arriving in the U.S. alone from Panama at just 3 years old, to becoming a defining force on the Broadway stage as the original Mimi Marquez in RENT. We dive into how playing a troubled sex worker and addict etched a lasting (and sometimes complicated) association between her and the character, especially back home in Panama.

We talk about everything — Latinos in acting bonding together, dealing with imposter syndrome as part of the '90s girl group Pajama Party (which was made for Latinas, but not by us), and the importance of representation that’s authentic.

She also shares behind-the-scenes gems from her time in In the Heights, how her one-woman show Empanada Locabecame the inspiration for The Horror of Dolores Roach, and why she’s excited to bring her energy to Shakespeare in the Park this summer.

It’s raw, powerful, and deeply inspiring — just like Daphne.
