Shoshana Bean grew up in Portland, Oregon. She attended the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, graduated with a BFA in Musical Theater and wasted no time in heading to New York City. There she was cast in the Off-Broadway revival of GODSPELL and with the release of the cast album, which included her rousing rendition of "Bless the Lord," she had earned herself a spot on the musical theater map. Immediately following GODSPELL, she became increasingly interested in and involved with the pop music scene. Her first high-profile gig was singing back-up for a huge lineup of stars including the Jackson's 30th anniversary concert celebration at Madison Square Garden. Inspired by the experience, she began focusing on writing, recording and performing her original music around NYC. Shoshana made her Broadway debut in the critically acclaimed, Tony Award-winning original cast of HAIRSPRAY. Following her two year run in HAIRSPRAY, Shoshana began a five-month stint as standby for Tony Award winner Idina Menzel in the hit Broadway musical WICKED. In January of 2005, Shoshana took over the role of Elphaba until January of 2006. Her most memorable moment to date was honoring legend Aretha Franklin at the "Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards." Shoshana sang Franklin's classic "Ain't No Way" alongside Brian McKnight for the nationally broadcast show.
