Beautiful Justina Machado will take over the role of salon owner Daniela in Broadway's Tony Award-winning Best Musical In the Heights for eight weeks starting June 29 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Andréa Burns created the role.
Machado, who is best known as Vanessa Diaz from the critically acclaimed series "Six Feet Under," will appear through Aug. 23. I loved Six Feet Under. I watched it faithfully every Sunday night on HBO and found Machado to be very attractive. I miss it a lot actually! With her "Six Feet Under" co-stars, Machado won a 2004 SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. This past television season she was featured on "Ugly Betty" as Cousin Clara and on the final season of "ER" as Claudia Diaz. In the fall, she will be seen on the upcoming CBS show "Three Rivers" opposite Alex O'Laughlin and in the independent film "Pedro," which has been accepted into the 2009 Toronto Film Festival.
In the Heights, a romantic musical comedy snapshot of the Latino community of Washington Heights, in northern Manhattan, is the winner of four 2008 Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Lin-Manuel Miranda won the 2008 Tony for Best Score, Andy Blankenbuehler won the 2008 Tony for Best Choreography, and Alex Lacamoire and Bill Sherman won the 2008 Tony Award for Best Orchestrations.
