In the film, Cuca and Carla’s antics remain, but Carla is also re-developed as Daniela’s romantic partner with quiet, lived-in moments across the week of one block’s summer heatwave. In the original stage production, Carla (Beatriz) is Daniela’s comedic sidekick, working alongside Cuca ( Orange is the New Black’s Dascha Polanco) in Daniela’s beauty salon.
Perched from the top of her five-inch tacones as she delivers hot gossip and a loving touch in equal measure.
Daphne and Stephanie joining forces together as an everyday gay Latina couple, in what might be the biggest movie event of the year? Worth putting on a bra for.ĭaphne Rubin-Vega is Daniela, the pint-sized ruler (with a massive-sized voice) of In the Height’s Washington Heights block. Stephanie Beatriz, a modern bi-con, is beloved by queers one and all. Ok so “middle of the night” is slight literary license, but I dare you to put on a full face of make up and a bra at 7:30pm on a Saturday night after a year that’s been most defined in terms of “no hard pants” and tell me that it doesn’t feel like the middle of the night to you! But I’ve loved Daphne Rubin-Vega since I was a tween memorizing the orange liner notes of the Rent soundtrack after school (and if you’re gay and love musicals and grew up in the 90s, chances are high that you were right there with me – legend does not begin to cover it).
