Shoshana Bean is a Grammy Award winner and Tony-nominated powerhouse, most recently captivating audiences in Alicia Keys’ new musical Hell’s Kitchen. Her critically acclaimed portrayal of Jersey earned her nominations for Tony, Drama League, Drama Desk, and Lucille Lortel Awards. In 2022, she received Tony and Grammy nominations for her starring role as Susan Young in Mr. Saturday Night, opposite Billy Crystal.
A celebrated force on Broadway, Shoshana made history as the first replacement for Elphaba in Wicked and later took on the role of Jenna in Waitress. She made her Broadway debut in the original cast of Hairspray, appeared Off-Broadway in the 2000 revival of Godspell, and starred in Songs for a New World at City Center Encores! Her performance as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl earned her an IRNE Award, while her portrayal of CeeCee Bloom in the pre-Broadway production of Beaches garnered a Jeff Award nomination.
Beyond the stage, Shoshana has made an indelible mark as an independent recording artist. Her six albums and EPs have topped the iTunes and Billboard charts, including reaching #1 on the Billboard Jazz Chart. She has sold out concerts worldwide and lent her powerhouse vocals to numerous films and television projects, including Sing, Sing 2, Enchanted, Jersey Boys, “Glee,” and “Galavant.”
Her onscreen credits include appearances in “Bloodline,” Bill & Ted Face the Music, and “Great Performances: 50 Years of Broadway’s Best.” She filmed a solo concert special for PBS, further solidifying her reputation as one of the most dynamic and versatile performers of her generation.
