In 2022, she received Tony and Grammy nominations for her starring role as Susan Young opposite Billy Crystal in Broadway's Mr. Saturday Night. She previously starred on Broadway as the first replacement for Elphaba in Wicked and as Jenna in Waitress. Her six independent studio albums and EP's have landed her on top of the iTunes and Billboard charts, including the peak position of #1 on the Billboard Jazz Chart. She has sold out concerts around the globe and lent her voice to countless films and television shows, including Sing, Sing 2, Enchanted, Jersey Boys, Glee and Galavant. Shoshana made her Broadway debut in the original cast of Hairspray, appeared Off-Broadway in the 2000 revival of Godspell, and in Songs for a New World at City Center Encores.

She has appeared in Bloodline, Bill and Ted Face The Music, and recently filmed a solo concert special for PBS. 

J. Harrison Ghee won the 2023 Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical, making history as the first non-binary actor to be nominated and win in this category for their role as “Daphne/Jerry” in Some Like It Hot, a role which also garnered them Grammy, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards, as well as Drama League and Chita Rivera Award nominations. Most recently J. starred in the world premiere of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Ghee was selected by Billy Porter to star as “Robyn/Kevin” on the hit FOX series Accused, and previously played the series regular of “Kwame” on Netflix's Raising Dion. On Broadway, they starred as “Lola” in Kinky Boots, created the role of “Andre Mayhem” in Mrs. Doubtfire, and have dazzled audiences in roles such as “Velma Kelly” in Chicago and “Johnny Hooker” in The Sting, opposite Harry Connick, Jr. Ghee hopes that something they do or say reaches the heart of at least one person, to inspire them to dream big and go full-out for those dreams.
