Random, I know, but her talent has been off the Great White Way for far too long. I'd love to see her back on Broadway in a meaty role.
When Will Shoshana Bean Return to Broadway?

She was in Drury Lane Chicago's Beaches, which was supposedly an out of town tryout. I haven't heard anything about future plans since though.

How was her fanny Brice received?
My father (AIDS)
My sister (AIDS)
My uncle and my cousin and her best friend (AIDS, AIDS, AIDS)
The gays and the straights
And the white and the spades

She only has 2 Broadway credits, one of which was an ensemble role and the other which was a lead in a mega hit musical. I'd LOVE to see her back on Broadway but she seems to have found more success OFF Broadway, than on.

She's said many times that she finds more fulfillment in doing her own music than she does in musical theater. She did Funny Girl last summer, but that seems to be an exception as a "bucket list" role for her.

She said in a recent interview that she would be open to returning to Broadway, but that she wasn't necessarily seeking anything out.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

She also seems to have a steady gig as a guest singer for Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox

Besides some Wicked fans, I don't think there's much of a demand to see her back on Broadway. She seems happy with her music. Someone like Karen Olivo returning would cause more of a stir with Broadway fans. Maybe she'll get to do Hamilton on Broadway soon?

Hmm. I would love to see Karen Olivo in a Beaches stage musical.

I wasn't impressed with Beaches in Chicago last summer (and I love the book and movie!). She needs a better vehicle for her return to Broadway

She's greatly respected Los Angeles- and I try to never pass up an opportunity to see her perform. She's a real talent, and I hope the right project finds its way to her.

her album O'Farrell Street is one of my favorite albums ever. idk how necessary it is for her to return to broadway though.

Bumping this since Shoshana has been getting raves for her performance in Songs for a New World at City Center this week.

She’ll soon start to age into really exciting roles for her. I would love to see her as Diana in Next To Normal and in 15 years she could really make a killer Mama Rose, imo. She’s a much better actress than people give her credit for.

^I was just going to say, she'll be picking up her Tony for Mama Rose in about 10-15 years!
