Before that, Vosk finished an acclaimed run as Elphaba in Wicked on Broadway, having played the role for two years.
Vosk starred in New York City Ballet’s Jerome Robbins tribute Something to Dance About, directed by Warren Carlyle, and re-created the role of Fruma Sarah in the most recent Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof.
