Ashley Park

Ashley Park is a television, film, and stage actress whose career milestones include roles in the television series Emily in Paris and the Broadway adaptation of Mean Girls. Although born in Glendale, California, on June 6, 1991, she was largely raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she later attended the University of Michigan. One year after her college graduation, she made her Broadway debut by joining the cast of Mamma Mia! in February 2014, then landed her first leading role on Broadway with the 2015 reboot of The King and I. The cast recording of The King and I received a Grammy nomination in 2016 for "Best Musical Theater Album," and Ashley Park continued to expand her career with an eight-episode run in the television show Nightcap. She then returned to Broadway in 2018 with Mean Girls, earning a Tony Award nomination for "Best Featured Actress in a Musical" as well as a Drama Desk Award nomination for "Outstanding Featured Actress in a Musical" for her work on the show. Although the Covid-19 pandemic brought her career as a stage actress to a temporary halt, she landed a starring role in the TV show Emily in Paris in 2020 and contributed several performances to the show's soundtrack, including "La Vie en Rose" (which peaked at Number 1 on Billboard's Top TV Songs chart) and "Mon Soleil" (which cracked the Top 40 in Singapore, Brazil, South Korea, Indonesia, and Australia in late 2021).
