Catch up with Jess ahead of her concert with Seth Rudetsky!
Seeing your favorite Broadway stars live on a Broadway stage may not be a reality in 2020, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy them live from your screen. BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge is keeping up with all of their latest projects on Backstage Live, bringing you in-depth interviews twice weekly.
Watchas he chats with Broadway beltress Jessica Vosk, who will soon join Seth Rudetsky for two very special concerts on today, January 24 (8pm) and Monday, January 25 (3pm).
"I think that as performers, we need [concerts like this]," said Vosk. "There's going to be a lot of stuff that I haven't sung before. Of course, I'm making Seth sing backup, whether or not he actually wants to do that. [Laughs] Sorry Seth!"
What other songs can fans expect from the show? "For the first time I'm doing 'My Strongest Suit' from Aida... I wanted to bring in stuff from shows that I remember seeing at crucial times in my life. Like The Secret Garden- we just lost Rebecca Luker, who was not only such a dear friend, but one of the best and brightest Broadway lights who will ever be. The Secret Garden was the very first show that I ever saw as a kid and that's what got me into Broadway. I wanted to go back to the shows taht got me into this in the first place."
