From Wall Street to ‘Wicked’ Stage
Jessica Vosk is a celebrated singer and actress known for her musical theater and concert roles. But she wasn’t always a Broadway star. Before her theater career, Vosk was an associate director at a boutique investor relations firm in New York City, where she consulted with major Wall Street firms.
The Clinton, New Jersey, native graduated with a degree in Communications and Public and Investor Relations from Montclair State University and immediately found success in her finance job, earning several promotions. But, she felt unfulfilled and, at 27, left Wall Street to pursue her artistic dreams, according to reports. Her story has been profiled on ABC’s 20/20, NBC Nightly News, and in other television and newspaper outlets.
Carnegie Hall, Wall Street, Lincoln Center
She made her Carnegie Hall debut in November 2021 in 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 and was featured performing “Defying Gravity” in the PBS Great Performances 50th Anniversary Concert.
Vosk 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 in St. Louis.
Other recent 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.
This performance is billed as Vosk’s final concert of 2026 before she returns to Broadway.
Angelina Brennen, a student at Syracuse University, was selected to open the show following her lead role in the bergenPAC’s 2025 summer musical “Shrek.”
