Prior to that role, Ramirez was seen on Broadway in Monty Python's Spamalot as Lady of the Lake, for which she earned both a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical and an Outer Critics Award for Outstanding Featured Actress in a Musical.

Ramirez graduated from the Juilliard Drama School. Shortly after graduation, she made her Broadway debut starring in Paul Simon's The Capeman. Following that, she starred on Broadway in Fascinating Rhythm and A Class Act, as well as Off-Broadway in The Vagina Monologues.

Johnson, a documentary by filmmaker David France of How to Survive a Plague about LGBTQ civil rights transgender pioneers Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson.
