Lisa Shane...the forgotten "Funny Girl"

Here's Lisa Shane with her version of "People" from the musical production "Funny Girl".
It was Lisa who was the understudy for Barbra Streisand during the short lived run of "Funny Girl" at London's Prince Of Wales theatre in April 1966.
Lisa had stood-in a few times for Barbra when she was ill and subsequently was asked to carry on in the part of Fanny Brice when Streisand fell pregnant and had to leave the show early in its run. Unfortunately the box office returns slumped and the show folded after only a few months leaving Lisa without the fame that the show had brought to her USA counterparts connected with the musical - Marilyn Michaels, Mimi Hines and Lainie Kazan.

There's no reason why she shouldn't have gone to on to more bone fide successes in other shows.
