Ramirez Work
A casting director saw Ramírez while he was still at Juilliard and offered him a part in Paul Simon’s 1998 Broadway musical The Capeman, which he accepted. The show, which was based on the life of Puerto Rican mobster Salvador Agron, received mixed reviews; nonetheless, Ramírez was praised for their “outstanding” performance. Their “memorable” but little cameo in the romance comedy You’ve Got Mail marked their cinematic debut that same year. Ramírez played Rose, a Zabar’s cashier who was “very serious about her line’s cash-only policy,” in the movie starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan.
In the 1999 video game Um Jammer Lammy, Ramírez played the nervous guitarist Lammy, the game’s title protagonist, in his debut voice acting performance.The game, which was only available on Sony’s PlayStation system, was a guitar-based spin-off of PaRappa the Rapper and had Lammy making it to her band’s gig in under fifteen minutes. They returned to the character of PaRappa the Rapper in 2001, this time in a limited capacity—a cameo appearance during the song “Hair Scare”—in the PlayStation 2 series sequel. Ramírez also provided the voice of Lammy for the CD release of the in-universe girl band MilkCan’s song “Make It Sweet” and for the FMV cutscenes that were part of the Um Jammer Lammy NOW! arcade version of the game.
Ramírez made an appearance in Mark Lamos’ 1999 production of The Gershwins’ Fascinating Rhythm. They were nominated for an Outer Critics Circle Award and won accolades for their performance. While praising their “beautiful, smoky voice,” Variety’s Charles Isherwood criticized them for their “torchy” rendition of “The Man I Love,” which he said overlooked “the wry irony that infuses Ira’s lyrics.” After that, Ramírez made an appearance in Edward Kleban’s A Class Act Broadway staging in 2001. They took the position of Julia Murney, who played the part of Ed’s employer Felecia in the off-Broadway production. They appeared in several shows that year, such as Dreamgirls and Fascinating Rhythm, before joining Tovah Feldshuh and Suzanne Bertish in a 2002 staging of The Vagina Monologues. In addition, Ramírez had guest appearances in a number of television shows during this time, including Law & Order: SVU, NYPD Blue, Third Watch, and Spin City.
Cast as the Lady of the Lake in Eric Idle and John Du Prez’s musical Spamalot, Ramírez made her breakthrough performance. Inspired by the 1975 movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the musical made its Broadway debut to great fanfare in 2005. Ramírez received special recognition for her portrayal, taking home multiple honors such as the Drama League Award for Distinguished portrayal and the 2005 Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. They were called “a toothsome devourer of scenery” by Ben Brantley of The New York Times, and their “intensity is totally serious and totally ludicrous and totally on key” by another critic for The Playgoer, who focused on their stage presence.They received the greatest accolades, including the title of “show-stealer” in an Entertainment Weekly review.
