She won a Tony Award for featured actress in a musical for "West Side Story." Karen played the role of Anita which was made famous by Chita Rivera and Rita Moreno.
Olivo was in last years Best Musical "In The Heights" which I saw last June about two weeks after the 2008 Tony Awards. Karen played the role of Vanessa and she was fantastic! I can't imagine anyone else in the role.
Her acceptance speech was from the heart and very touching. I'm very happy for her...
