Jessica Vosk Will Fly into Wicked on Broadway: 'Excited Doesn't Even Begin to Describe It!'

Power-voiced Wicked tour star Jessica Vosk will offer up her acclaimed turn as Elphaba for Broadway audiences starting this summer. Vosk will begin performances at the Gershwin Theatre on July 16, replacing current star Jackie Burns, who will play her final show on July 14.

"Joining the Broadway company of Wicked is an absolute honor, and so surreal," said Vosk in an exclusive statement. "I feel beyond lucky to step back into the shoes of this iconic role, and grateful to share the stage with the incredible cast. Excited doesn't even begin to describe it! Let's do this!"

Vosk has been seen on Broadway in Fiddler on the Roof, Finding Neverland and The Bridges of Madison County. She appeared off-Broadway in Death Takes a Holiday. Vosk will soon release her debut solo album, Wild and Free.

The current cast of Wicked also includes Amanda Jane Cooper as Glinda, Ashley Parker Angel as Fiyero, Jye Frasca as Boq, Kevin Chamberlin as The Wizard, Isabel Keating as Madame Morrible, Kristen Martin as Nessarose and Martin Moran as Doctor Dillamond.

Wicked features a book by Winnie Holzman, a score by Stephen Schwartz, direction by Joe Mantello and choreography by Wayne Cilento.
