Jessica Vosk

Jessica Vosk is a recording artist whose crisp, powerful voice and wide vocal range have led to success in musical theater, including on Broadway and on television. She got a delayed start in show business, taking a job on Wall Street before eventually working her way up to a leading role in Broadway's Wicked in 2018. Consisting of adult contemporary renditions of pop songs and show tunes, her first album, Wild and Free, arrived the same year. In 2024, Vosk released her follow-up LP, the seasonal outing SLEIGH, just before taking over for Shoshana Bean in the Alicia Keys Broadway musical Hell's Kitchen. The following year, she had a minor international hit with "Gravity," a song from the second season of the hit animated series Hazbin Hotel, in which she voices Lute. A native of Clinton, New Jersey, Vosk's father was in a band and started her singing as a child. She went on to study musical theater at The Hartt School in Connecticut, but transferred to Montclair State University, earning a degree in communications and public relations instead. After working at a firm on Wall Street for a few years, she decided to try auditioning for musical theater roles, her true passion. In 2009, she was cast as a vocalist in Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus' Kristina, a live concert performed at Carnegie Hall and Royal Albert Hall. In 2014, at the age of 30, Vosk made her Broadway debut as an understudy and swing on The Bridges of Madison County before originating the supporting role of Miss Bassett in Finding Neverland. The latter opened at the Lunt-Fontanne Theater in April 2015. She left that production five months later to play Fruma-Sarah in the Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof, which began previews that November. In September of 2016, Vosk began a year-long run as Elphaba on a national tour of Wicked. She took over the part in the Broadway production at the Gershwin Theatre in July of 2018, just a few months prior to the show's 15-year anniversary. In August 2018, Jessica Vosk made her solo recording debut with Wild and Free, a mix of show tunes and pop covers including songs by Prince, Sia, and Sara Bareilles. Produced by Michael Croiter (Alan Cumming, Anika Larsen) and Robbie Rozelle, and co-produced by Vosk and Mary-Mitchell Campbell, the Broadway Records release reached number 12 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. In the early 2020s, she had roles in regional productions of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Chess before returning to Broadway for a one-night cameo as the Producer in Gutenberg! The Musical! Vosk seemed to be everywhere in 2024, a year that began with the premiere of the animated series Hazbin Hotel, a musical-comedy-horror series for adults. Featuring Vosk in the recurring role of Lute, the chaotic rock musical was a hit, and the soundtrack album landed in the Top 20 of the Billboard 200. In mid-2024, Vosk played the lead role of Jenna Hunterson in Sara Bareilles' Waitress for a run at The Muny in St. Louis, Missouri. That November, Concord Theatricals released her second album, SLEIGH. A seasonal album, it featured duets with Ariana DeBose, David Foster, Neil Patrick Harris, and Scott Hoying. Starting a year-long run on Broadway that December, Vosk took over the role of Jersey from Shoshana Bean in the autobiographical jukebox musical Hell's Kitchen, featuring the songs of Alicia Keys. In 2025, while continuing her run on Broadway, Vosk entered the Top Ten of the Billboard 200 with her lead vocals on the song "Gravity" from Hazbin Hotel: Season Two. Released as a single, the song charted in Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, and the U.K., and it rose to number 11 on Billboard's Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart in the U.S. ~ Marcy Donelson, Rovi
