Ross recently posted to Twitter video of her rehearsing the show's finale. The LGBTQ+ rights activist, and star of TV's"Pose" and"American Horror Story," says she loves joining a small but growing group of trans performers conquering Broadway. This is a first for"Chicago."
"It's definitely time for the change," Ross said."Changing the world, changing the face of who we get to see as talented ... As a trans woman I think that at the end of the day, you kind of realize you have to be your own best friend. You have to love yourself first."

She was like, 'You are going to take this role.' She was like, 'This is for you.
