Shoshana Bean

Shoshana Bean played Jenna Hunterson in Waitress the Musical on Broadway at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre from 5 months in mid-2019.

Shoshana is a Broadway veteran, having made her debut in the original cast of Hairspray and starring as the very ﬁrst replacement for Elphaba in Wicked. She won a IRNE Award for her performance as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl and earned a Jeff Award nomination for her portrayal of CeeCee Bloom in the pre-Broadway musical production of Beaches.
