Opening Night with Jessica Vosk
JESSICA VOSK
Mary-Mitchell Campbell, Music Director & Piano Sean McDaniel, Drums Hiddy Hidiyat, Guitar Matt Aronoff, Bass Jessica Vosk is a celebrated singer and actress known for electrifying roles on musical theater and concert stages. She made her Carnegie Hall debut in November 2021 in a sold-out solo show titled My Golden Age, had a triumphant return in 2022 to headline Get Happy: A Judy Garland Centennial Celebration, and will return in 2027. She is the creator and star of the viral social media sensation "Vosk In The City," an interview series which has garnered millions of views across platforms. Last season’s highlights include the conclusion to her celebrated run on Broadway as Jersey in Alicia Keys’ Hell’s Kitchen. She appeared with the New York Pops and the Philly Pops followed by a coastto-coast tour of her 2024 holiday album SLEIGH. In spring 2026 she returned to Broadway to star in the musical adaptation of Beaches after originating the role of ‘Cee Cee’ in the international premiere in Calgary last season. Previous season highlights include creating the fan-favorite role of Lute in the animated musical series Hazbin Hotel, as well as starturns as Jenna in Waitress and Florence in Chess at The Muny in St. Louis. She returned to San Francisco Symphony at Stern Grove Festival to celebrate the Fourth of July, debuted at Philadelphia’s Kimmel Center with No Name Pops and her program California Dreamin’ – Songs of the Laurel Canyon, and celebrated the holidays with the National Symphony Orchestra at The Kennedy Center and The New York Pops at Carnegie Hall. Jessica also hosted Carnegie Hall’s newest podcast If This Hall Could Talk. In November 2024, she released SLEIGH a full-length extension of her 2020 holiday EP A Very CoCo Christmas.
Best known for her star turn as Elphaba in the musical Wicked—first on tour and then during its 15th anniversary on Broadway— Vosk played the green witch for two years and was featured performing “Defying Gravity” in the PBS Great Performances 50th Anniversary Concert. She starred as the narrator in Lincoln Center’s 50th anniversary performance of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, reprising the role in 2022 at The Muny. Other theatrical highlights include joining the Atlantic Theater Company as Beth Ann in its production of Sarah Silverman’s The Bedwetter; creating the role of Aunt Val in the world premiere of Becoming Nancy at Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, directed and choreographed by Jerry Mitchell; and becoming 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. Jessica Vosk 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. Her one-of-akind story has been profiled on ABC’s 20/20 and NBC Nightly News.
