Throughout her multi-decade career, Tony award-winner, Daisy Eagan, has dazzled audiences from the stage to television and film, with her writing, and, most recently with her hit podcast “Strange and Unexplained with Daisy Eagan,” which has over 10 million downloads over 52 episodes.

Well-known for her stage work, Eagan recently performed at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which is the single largest celebration of arts and culture globally, and takes place annually in August for three weeks in the city of Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital.
At age eleven, Eagan became the youngest actress to win a Tony Award for Best Performance by A Featured Actress for playing Mary Lennox in “The Secret Garden.” In 2016, Eagan returned to “The Secret Garden” for the 25th anniversary concert production at Lincoln Center, taking on the role of Martha, Mary's chambermaid and sympathetic caretaker. She then reprised the role in Washington, D.C. with the musical being co-produced by The Shakespeare Theatre Company. Eagan then went on to play Brigid Blake in the critically acclaimed First National Tour of Stephen Karam’s Tony winning play, “The Humans.”
Additional Broadway credits include “Les Miserables” and “James Joyce's The Dead.” Eagan wrote and starred in three one-person shows: “Daisy Eagan: Fuck You. I Love You.,” “Still Daisy After All these Years” and “One For My Baby.” Each show explored deeply funny and sometimes tragic themes, as Eagan intertwines a wide spectrum of songs into her storytelling.
