For those who do not know, Ham4Ham is one of the most-anticipated pre-show activities at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in 2015 for "Hamilton" fans. Lin Manuel Miranda and the original Broadway cast of the megamusical perform a slew of numbers outside the theater for the fans.
From time to time, they perform with other artists. Some of the people they performed with back then were Lea Salonga, a reunion of "In The Heights," and "Spring Awakening" productions, among many others!
Now, Lin Manuel Miranda, the great person he is, revived the well-loved series by introducing new shows on Broadway - "Camelot," "A Doll's House," and "Kimberly Akimbo."
Phillipa Soo on 'Camelot'
On the most recent Ham4Ham last May 19, 2023, Phillipa blew the house down as she returns as Eliza Hamilton for a few minutes when she performed a mashup of "Take A Break," and Camelot's "The Lusty Month of May."
While Soo performed the mashup, Tony-nominated actress Jessica Chastain was vibing in the background, looking awestruck by Soo's beauty and talent.
Fans online were raving about the two's interaction. Check out the fan reactions below.

What makes the Ham4Ham return more special was that Philippa Soo originated the role of Eliza Hamilton on Broadway which earned her a Tony nomination in 2015.
