“Beanie is this generation’s Fanny Brice,” Karimloo continued. “We talk about the importance of representation all the time, and Fanny was a trailblazer. She had no template, no path; she became the mold. She showed people, if you don’t see something, become that. And Beanie followed Fanny’s path and opened her own sets of doors for others to follow suit.”
