About this listen

Our bedtime stories are designed to let you drift off with no nagging feeling that you need to listen through to the end. Their purpose is to let you slowly fall into peaceful, restful sleep.

With that in mind, we present actor Broadway and big-screen star Phillipa Soo reading Chinese fables and folk stories. These traditional tales have a long oral history dating back to the Middle Kingdom of old.

Phillipa Soo originated the role of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton in Broadway’s critically acclaimed Hamilton, which earned her a Tony and an Emmy nomination and a Grammy win. A graduate of Julliard, she is presently playing Guenevere in Aaron Sorkin’s revival of Lerner & Loewe’s Camelot and is starring in the film adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel One True Loves opposite Simu Liu.

Soo currently resides in New York City.

What a great set of stories to relax and drift off to. The stories are lovely , to say the least. I still have not got past the 2nd story before drifting off to sleep.
The narration is superb and perfectly matched. I have been slowing the playback speed slightly just to make Phillipa’s voice even more dreamy.
A great team effort and matching.
Well done!

Soo Dreamy
