Shoshana Bean, A Recording Star And A Force On Broadway, Has A New Show At Feinstein's/54 Below

Shoshana Bean began performing was she was just three-years-old. She had been watching her cousins in a tap recital, when suddenly she rushed onto the stage right in the middle of their performance.

Maybe it was a case of FOMO on Bean’s part. But at that moment her mother was convinced that she needed to enroll her daughter in tap class so she could experience her own recital. ”That was apparently the sign she needed and that's where it all began!,” says Bean who was born and raised outside Portland, Oregon, and has a B.F.A. in Musical Theater from Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music .

This month she makes her debut at Feinstein’s/54 Below in New York City and will perform there through September 3rd. Bean, whose belt is as nuanced and richly layered as it is powerful, will sing an all-Broadway repertoire. She has included songs from roles she has played, roles she wants to play and roles she’ll never play.

The timing was divine because at that point I was considering moving out to Los Angeles to work on my music as nothing had really taken off for me in New York City since doing Godspell [off Broadway], almost two years prior. Getting Hairspray was the sign I was looking for. It was a clear sign that New York City and theater was where I was meant to be, at least for the time being. And it turned out to be some of the best years of my life and gave me friends who have become family.

He loves taking tunes and reimagining them for our purposes. And he's wonderful at it. When James shows up to the gig, he commits himself fully. And above being a professional and a skilled player, he shows up with his whole heart. And heart is very important to me.
