Daphne's Rocky Horror Show Bio

Daphne Rubin-Vega (Magenta) lit up on Broadway with her debut as Mimi in the original cast of Rent. It earned her a Theatre World Award, a Tony nomination as Best Actress, and one for the Drama Desk Award. Film roles include the straight-laced cop in "Wild Things" opposite Kevin Bacon and Matt Dillion, for which she won a Blockbuster Movie Award and she slept with Robert DeNiro in "Flawless." Off B-way: "Gum" at The Women's Project and :Two Sisters and a Piano" at the Public Theatre. Daphne is thrilled to be heard on Broadway while working on new music and getting her CD under the now defunct Mercury label out in the world. Thanks to the Great Spirit and Tommy for love, inspiration and clarity.
