Afra Hines

Afra Hines is a dynamic Broadway performer and consummate triple-threat whose career spans over a dozen major productions. Born in Panama, with artistic roots in Miami and Boston, she began dancing at age four after seeing Savion Glover on Sesame Street- an early spark that led her to study tap, jazz, ballet, and gymnastics. She honed her craft at New York City’s Professional Performing Arts School, and then leapt into the professional theater scene. Since then, Afra has graced stages in the original Broadway companies of In the Heights, Ghost, Soul Doctor, Shuffle Along, Summer: The Donna Summer Musical (u/s Disco Donna), Hadestown (u/s Persephone), The Who’s Tommy (2024 revival, u/s Acid Queen, Mrs. Walker), Funny Girl (2022 revival), Bob Fosse’s Dancin’ (2023 revival), and Pirates! The Penzance Musical (2025 revival). Additionally, Afra spent a year on the First National Tour of Hamilton, playing Los Angeles and San Francisco, and spent 7 seasons “on the line” as a Radio City Rockette.
