Since FUNNY GIRL replacements are a hot topic, I’d love to wish a happy 89th birthday to the great Mimi Hines!! Hines was the FIRST Fanny Brice replacement ever, taking over the role from Barbra Streisand at the Winter Garden Theatre on December 27, 1965 and staying with the show for 18 months. A total hoot, I got to cheer her on years later as Miss Lynch in GREASE in the 90s. Happy birthday, Mimi!! 🎉🎉🎉 #broadway #musicals #funnygirl #fannybrice #mimihines #knowyourhistory
