Shoshana Bean

Shoshana earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM). She is best known for playing Elphaba on Broadway in the musical Wicked. While at CCM, Shoshana Bean was roommates with Kristy Cates, who would later play the role of Elphaba in Wicked as well.

Shortly after moving to New York City, she was cast in the Off-Broadway revival of Godspell. Bean subsequently performed in the national tour of Leader of the Pack. She was also an original cast member in the Tony Award-winning production of Broadway's Hairspray, originating the role of Shelley and understudying the roles of Tracy Turnblad, Velma Von Tussle, and Prudy Pingleton. Bean's biggest claim to fame came in 2005, when she became the 1st replacement for Tony Award-winner Idina Menzel in the Broadway production of Wicked. Bean's successful year-long run in the lead role concluded on January 8, 2006 and she was replaced by Idina Menzel's original standby, Eden Espinosa. Bean reprised the role of Elphaba in the national tour of Wicked for a brief run in the fall of 2006, where ahe was joined by former co-star Megan Hilty. Since leaving Wicked, Bean has recorded background vocals for the film soundtracks to Hairspray and Enchanted. Recently, Bean has been in Los Angeles working on her debut album, "Superhero", which debuted on December 2, 2008.
