Morgan Anita Wood Will Make Her Broadway Debut as 'Eliza' in HAMILTON

Indianapolis native Morgan Anita Wood will make her Broadway debut as ‘Eliza’ in HAMILTON beginning this month. After six years of performing in HAMILTON across North America - including Puerto Rico, Honolulu, Toronto, Los Angeles, and San Francisco - Wood will begin performances on Tuesday, July 16 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.

Wood debuted in HAMILTON in 2019 in the show’s limited run in Puerto Rico, performing with creator Lin-Manuel Miranda in support of hurricane relief efforts for the island. She continued across multiple touring companies through 2023, understudying all three Schuyler sisters and later playing ‘Eliza’ in the And Peggy Tour.

"After nearly six years on tour with Hamilton, the opportunity to make my Broadway debut in this incredible show is truly a dream come true. Playing the role of Eliza, I feel so lucky to share this story with audiences every night."
