Doreen not only graced the stage but also used her platform to elevate others, producing countless cabarets where friends and fellow cast members could shine while raising awareness for causes close to her heart.
Inspired by the incredible Doreen Montalvo scholarship recipients and finalists, who have come together to help produce this cabaret, we continue to honor and share her legacy of social activism and representation.

Townsend, Lillian Andrea De León, Carla Mongado, Francisca Muñoz, Monica Ho. Directed by Luis Salgado with Music Direction by Alejandro Senior and Daniel Gutierrez. This event will also mark the launch of our Annual Dare to Give Fundraising campaign supporting R.Evolución Latina’s programs and initiatives with a goal of raising $100,000.
Doreen Montalvo, a little girl from the Bronx, rooted deeply in her Puerto Rican culture, had an unwavering determination to make Broadway her home. Throughout her journey, she never ceased to pursue her dreams, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of many.
As the voice behind some of Broadway’s most iconic songs, Doreen Montalvo passionately supported our mission at R.Evolución Latina. She was a beacon of light, always available to lend a helping hand and generously share her talents with others. From the inception of R.Evolución Latina, Doreen championed our cause, lifting up every artist and nurturing the dream of making a difference through art. With boundless joy, she empowered the Latinx community, leaving an enduring legacy of inspiration. For twelve years, Doreen dedicated herself to teaching acting and singing at RL’s Children’s Performing Arts Camp. Each year, her love for the campers was palpable, and her unwavering dedication inspired all who crossed her path.
At the age of 44, she achieved her lifelong dream of making her Broadway debut as part of the Original Broadway Company of “In The Heights.” Her journey continued with performances in the Original Broadway Companies of “On Your Feet!: The Story of Gloria and Emilio Estefan” and “Mrs. Doubtfire,” as well as appearances on television shows like “Law and Order,” “Madam Secretary,” and “The Good Wife.” Her radiant light will forever shine on in the upcoming films “In The Heights” and “West Side Story.” Doreen’s spirit, talent, and boundless love will continue to inspire us all, guiding us as we strive to make a positive difference in the world through art and community.
Learn more about our scholarships and initiatives honoring Doreen Montalvo, including the 2024 DO IT ANYWAY Scholarship and Honoring Her Soul program.
