Graham Studio™ Conversations Podcast: Eliza’s Legacy with Phillipa Soo

As the nation celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2026, we are honoring Graham’s roots established in the early days of American democracy!  

In honor of our 220th anniversary year, we are launching the Graham Studio™ Conversations podcast series. We are kicking off the series by honoring one of Graham’s founders, Eliza Hamilton—yes, the same Eliza who was married to Founding Father Alexander Hamilton! What better way to celebrate Eliza’s legacy than to have a heart-to-heart conversation with the actress who originated the role of Eliza Hamilton in the hit Broadway musical, Hamilton. Our first guest is two-time Grammy Award-winning singer, actress, and author, Phillipa Soo!

Phillipa talks with Graham’s President & CEO, Kym Watson, about the early influences that shaped her artistic path, originating an iconic Broadway role, and co-founding The Eliza Project to introduce youth at Graham to the performing arts.

Check out this inspiring conversation that bridges the early days of the nation and Graham’s origins with our continued impact 220 years later. Watch the episode below or listen wherever you get your podcasts!
