Lin-Manuel Miranda and many other co-stars took to social media to mourn the death of the beloved Broadway star.
The Broadway star and writer went on to share how he kept Montalvo in the show despite cutting her original role.
"She played Benny's mom Alma that first year. We cut the role. So she played Camila, then Daniela, then Abuela, and by 2007 she was so invaluable to us that she covered all those roles both Off and On Broadway, in addition to her onstage role, who @quiarahudes named 'Cuca,'" he continued. It is monstrously unfair that we did not get more time with her. More shows with her. More music with her. More life with her. When someone brings that much joy and love to everyone they meet, that much commitment to the craft they love... it's unfair. And heartbreaking.Miranda also opened up about playing a role in Montalvo's wedding to actor Michael Mann, writing,"In 2010 she happily became Doreen Montalvo Mann--I DJ'd the wedding.
In 2010 she happily became Doreen Montalvo Mann--I DJ'd the wedding. She and Michael held it around the corner from the theater and every incarnation of our cast was there. Michael was the light of her life and everyone who knows Doreen is holding him in their prayers.
