My Take
What draws me to Ashley Park is that she is theatre-forged, not manufactured. The University of Michigan training and that Tony-nominated turn as Gretchen Wieners in Mean Girls are the engine behind Mindy's confidence on Emily in Paris. When she sings on that glossy show, it lands because it is the real thing, built on the stamina and nerve only live performance teaches. I admire how she carved out space as an Asian American performer in spaces that did not always make room. Beneath the sparkle there is a serious craftsperson, and I find that combination genuinely compelling.
