Blessed with a rich, smoky voice, Ramirez graduated from the acclaimed Juilliard Drama School. Shortly after graduation, she made her Broadway debut starring as Wahzinak in Paul Simon's The Capeman. She followed that with a starring part in the Gershwins' Fascinating Rhythm, for which she received an Outer Critics Circle nomination for Best Actress. In 2001 she was in Broadway's A Class Act, a musical biography based on the life of Ed Kleban, in the role of Felicia.
