“You Can Call Me Pippa” with Phillipa Soo & Maris Pasquale Doran

Connor and Dylan are joined by Phillipa Soo and Maris Pasquale Doran. It's a family affair, y’all! The twins welcome these sister-in-law’s to discuss their brand new children’s book Piper Chen Sings. Learn all about their gorgeous book, how specific stories lead to universal connection, and what it’s like working with family. From their first meeting to their book launch day, it’s a celebration!

Then (at 20:20) it’s a classic pod convo, divas. Phillipa does a deep dive into her fabulous life and career. From seeing a production of The Tempest as a young girl in Illinois to starring in the absolute smash sensation of Hamilton on a Broadway stage, Phillipa mentions it ALL. What was it like bringing a new Guenevere to life in last season’s Camelot revival? Leaning into comedy and trust in the beloved Into the Woods revival? Leading Amelie from LA to the Great Bright Way? Oh, we get into it. Plus, we have to talk about Hamilton. Nearly ten years after it started, Phillipa flashes back on memories of the worldwide phenomenon and what Eliza taught her. But that’s not all: Teeth at Playwrights, Girls5Eva, and the upcoming Drag Race finale are all wrapped up in this gorgeous convo. P.S. Stick around for the story of how Phillipa met her husband Steve Pasquale and what we may see them in onstage together someday.
