With all the hype she's getting where do we think she is going? I have met her and she is absolutely lovely.

Tons more tony nominations, and I see her name above the marquee in about 10-15 years.

Love her. She's funny, beautiful, and has a stunning voice. I'd love to see her take on Eliza Dolittle and Cinderella in Into the Woods.

Big fan. Seems like the sweetest person, too. She’s my dark horse for the Tony this year, actually. I hope she sticks around for a long time!

She's great! I was shocked that she didn't get nominated for The King and I. For me, she was the obvious choice for that category. Ruthie Ann Miles was excellent, but I didn't fully appreciate her performance until the 2nd time I saw it - the first time, my attention was much more on Park.

Unfortunately she was out when I saw KPop, but even seeing it without her still strangely increased my appreciation for her. The role required so much skill that I respect Park more for having played it, even though I didn't actually see her do it. (Marina Kondo was also VERY good in the role btw)

And I think she's the stand-out in Mean Girls currently. IMO, she's one of the only actors in that show that's actually ACTING, not just playing a stereotype and belting really high.

Her and Grey Henson are the easy standouts of Mean Girls, in my opinion. The most satisfying performances of the bunch.

I thought she was wonderful in King and I.   Such presence on stage. Tuptim sings three of the great R&H songs as well as narrating the ballet. That role should always be considered for awards for featured performance. It's a meatier role than Lady Thiang.

She was superb in the King and I, I also really loved her performance in SITPWG last year!

When I saw SITPWG, during the finale I heard her voice clear as a bell during the finale - so gorgeous. And when the cast recording finally came out it was the first song I listened to, just to hear her voice. It's perfect. 

I also think she (and Grey) was the best part of Mean Girls. Such a beautiful voice.

Did she ever go on for Dot/Marie? According to IBDB she covered the role, which I was unaware of until now!

I only heard her sing on the cast album of the King & I. Stunning voice indeed

What helped Miles was that people going into The King and I expect a great performance from Anna, the King, and Tuptim since they are the meatiest roles, but Miles reinterpreted Lady Thiang in a way that surprised people. So Miles brought the surprise factor.

Her career, especially in the past year, has been insanely successful. It's hard to believe she's only 26. Definitely one to watch out for.

Agree. And her song was absolutely stunning.  She certainly deserved it.

I hope she a has a long and lasting career. Was thinking the other day that she could make a great Andy in the Devil wears Prada musical.

she would be absolutely perfect. Personally, I want to see her win the Tony this season! Loved her in SITPWG and MG, and wish I could’ve seen her in KPOP.

Saw MEAN GIRLS and wowwww!!!!! Ashley Park is amazing. The song she sings in mean girls is heartbreaking and her acting in the whole show was astounding. Future tony winner for sure. She's a gem.

Agree with all of the love here. She was SOOO good in Mean Girls.

She stole the show as one of the sisters in Cinderella touring cast. I hope she continues to grow and we see her take on meaty new roles as well as timeless favorites.

I got to see her in the world premier of Hood by Douglas Carter Beane and Lewis Flynn. She was Maid Marian and was an absolute delight, though Alysha Umphress had the better songs, well song. The score unfortunately wasn't all that memorable, but it was a pretty fun show.
