Phillipa Soo and Maris Pasquale Doran in Conversation with Hilarie Burton: Piper Chen Sings

Apr 01, 2024

Join Grammy-winning and Tony and Emmy Award-nominated actress Phillipa Soo (Hamilton) with her sister-in-law and co-author Maris Pasquale Doran for a conversation about resilience, the soul-sustaining power of singing, family, and their new picture book, Piper Chen Sings.

Phillipa Soo is no stranger to stage jitters — as a young girl, she learned to channel it into exuberant performances with the help of her grandmother, carrying it with her into original roles in Hamilton, Into the Woods, Camelot and more. How do we transform anxiety into confidence? Soo and Doran tackle the question with heartfelt aplomb in Piper Chen Sings, drawing on their own life experiences — on the stage and in everyday life. Hear Soo and Doran discuss the real-life stories that inspired it — from childhood to Broadway — their unique family collaboration, and much more.
