'I think about the trans women who are looking at me right now and are now thinking that this is possible.'

Early roles as Sleepy in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” — “I was a ham,” she admits — led to playing Tyrone in “Fame” and Billy in “Anything Goes.” She saw Broadway shows like “The Lion King,” “Wicked,” “The Color Purple” and “On Your Feet!”

It tells the story of Hart, a housewife and dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to leave her. To avoid conviction, she hires Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to help her dupe the public, media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by creating shocking headlines. “I play in a game where I make the rules and rule No. 1 from here ’till the end is I am my own best friend,” she quotes the lyrics. “I just know there have been times in my life when I wasn’t. When I was in chorus with everyone else saying negative things about me.”

Ross, whose credits also include “American Horror Story: 1984,” “Transparent,” “Claws” and “Doubt,” will start an eight-week run beginning Monday.
