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.

Afra brings the same passion and versitility to screen and television, having performed in “Annie Live!”, “Fosse/Verdon”, “Boardwalk Empire”, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, “Mozart in the Jungle”, and “SNL”.

Equally at home in precision kick lines as she is belting out powerhouse vocals, Afra continues to captivate audiences through her technical virtuosity, warm presence, and story-driven artistry, embodying the versatility and excellence that make her a standout in today’s musical-theater scene.
