Karen Olivo

She may have earned rave reviews for originating the role of Vanessa in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Tony Award-winning musical In the Heights. But Karen Olivo earned her own Tony for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her performance as Anita (2009–2010) in the revival of West Side Story. The part-Puerto Rican/part-Dominican actress is the first and only actor to win a Tony for a performance in West Side Story.
