And now I find that MJ Rodriguez's been cast as Audrey in a production of Little Shop of Horrors (opposite Guillermo from the What We Do In The Shadows TV series, no less)

I am DELIGHTED by this news! ^_^

Also I would love to see her sing opposite Lin-Manuel Miranda one day. I think they would work great together.

and my heart can't contain how much this role needed to be sung by a black trans woman.

I read this and went "Wait, what? I thought she was Latina?"

So I looked up her bio on wikipedia and "Mj Rodriguez was born on January 7, 1991, in Newark, New Jersey to an African-American mother and Puerto Rican father."

So she's black AND Latina, for double the awesomeness.
