Under the watchful eye of the cosmos, the stars align to remind us of the magic that unfolds when art meets nostalgia—especially on those days when the moon is in playful Gemini. It’s the perfect backdrop for introspection as we dive into the vibrant world of Broadway, where Shoshana Bean takes center stage to discuss her exhilarating experiences in the hit musical “Wild.” Imagine a literal playground, where the innocence of childhood collides with the sophistication of musical theater, allowing us all to reclaim a piece of our youth. Shoshana’s passion shines through as she reflects on the pure joy and physicality of performing, leaving us wondering—why don’t we all have swings in our lives? So, grab your metaphorical jump rope and come along for a journey filled with laughter, insight, and that irresistible urge to run gleefully through life. LEARN MORE.

Shoshana: Oh, I’m always down for action. I love a moment to stand and sing, but I also love having physicality fuel the power of what I’m doing with my voice. I was thrilled and actually wanted more. I remember asking, “Where are the swings? Why don’t we have swings?” They were like, “Shoshana, we can’t afford them. We don’t have room!”

It is one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do on a Broadway stage. Especially in the midst of so much technical trickery, “Wild” is such a grounded, pure musical theater moment to see two grown adults on a playground. 

Someone gave me a bracelet that said “Neverland” on it, and I was asking Michael [Arden], “In the playground, the lights that hang down say ‘Neverland’ on them. Is that a nod to Peter Pan?” He said it was, and also to the idea that you’re reclaiming your youth.

I just thought, “Oh my gosh!” I sing this every night, and I never consciously put those two things together. 

What a gift to get a literal playground on a Broadway stage. Next to “She Used to Be Mine,” “Wild” is the greatest song I’ve ever gotten to sing on a Broadway stage.
