Vocalist Jessica Vosk breezed into Pittsburgh before her upcoming musical adaptation of “Beaches” on Broadway (rehearsals began the day of her show, Monday, February 16, 2026, but Vosk will join the troupe on Tuesday, February 17, 2026).
Vosk accompanied by acclaimed conductor, music director, orchestrator, composer, and arranger, Mary-Mitchell Campbell (“Mean Girls,” “Tuck Everlasting,” “Finding Neverland,” “The Prom,” and more), and musical director, actor and drummer, Rich Mecurio (drummer for “Waitress” and Van Zandt, and Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, and the drummer on Vosk’s Christmas album, “SLEIGH.”
The Broadway singer and actress regaled the crowd at the Greer Cabaret Theatre with stories from her career in show business, delivered with delightful and charming wit.
The Broadway performer opened the show from the rear of the theater, cutting through the audience and winding her way to the stage, commenting as she went. She turned to one guest seated at a table, “Is that a cookie?”
When the patron offered her the cookie, she responded, “No. I can’t. I am in the middle of a show.”
Vosk covered songs from “Waitress,” “Beaches,” “Wicked,” and “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.”
In 2022, Vosk headlined “Get Happy: A Judy Garland Centennial Celebration” at Carnegie Hall. Her version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” was astonishing.
The singer even rocked a Taylor Swift song, “Treacherous,” to the delight of the audience.
Vosk received two standing O’s, and midway through the set, there was a mini-standing ovation as a smattering of the crowd rose after her rendition of “The Wizard and I.”
The Broadway star has her own Christmas album, “SLEIGH,” and you can listen to a track here.
Vosk was entertaining and engaging, and one of the best performers of a stellar season at the Greer.
