Description

Jessica Vosk is a celebrated singer and actress known for electrifying roles in musical theater and on concert stages. She made her Carnegie Hall debut in November 2021 with a sold-out solo show titled “My Golden Age” and a triumphant return to Carnegie Hall in 2022 to headline “Get Happy: A Judy Garland Centennial Celebration.” Best known for her star turn as Elphaba in the musical “Wicked”—first on tour and then joining the show’s 15th anniversary on Broadway—Vosk played the green witch for two years.

Earlier this year she joined the Atlantic Theater Company as Beth Ann in its production of Sarah Silverman’s “The Bedwetter.” Vosk starred as the narrator in Lincoln Center’s 50th anniversary performance of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” reprising the role last August at The Muny in St. Louis. Vosk created the role of Aunt Val in the world premiere of “Becoming Nancy” at Alliance Theatre in Atlanta which was directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell. She became the first singer to star onstage with the New York City Ballet in “Something to Dance About,” the company’s tribute to Jerome Robbins directed by Warren Carlyle. Vosk’s other Broadway credits include Fruma Sarah in the most recent revival of Fiddler on the Roof, Finding Neverland, and The Bridges of Madison County.

She starred as Anita in San Francisco Symphony’s Grammy-nominated production of “West Side Story” and filmed “The Leonard Bernstein Centennial Celebration at Tanglewood” with Michael Tilson Thomas for PBS’s “Great Performances.” Her independently produced solo albums “Wild and Free” (2018) and “A Very Coco Christmas” (2020) both debuted on the Billboard and iTunes charts, and are available to stream on all platforms. Vosk had an unconventional journey to Broadway, beginning her career on Wall Street before taking the leap of faith to pursue her dreams on stage.
