Helen Park is the first Asian female composer on Broadway. A three-time Drama Desk nominee and recipient of the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical and the Richard Rodgers Award, her music has been described as “perversely addictive” (The New York Times) and “infectious” (The Hollywood Reporter). Park wrote music and lyrics as well as music produced and orchestrated the score for the Broadway musical KPOP. The earlier Off-Broadway production of the show was sold out and was the most nominated show of the 2017-2018 season. In addition, Park wrote songs for the Oscar-nominated Netflix Original Animated Feature musical, Over the Moon (2020). Aside from The New York Times and The Hollywood Reporter, Park has been featured in VOGUE, ELLE, Grammy.com, and NPR’s Weekend Edition. Named “the calmest, coolest, chicest, young prodigy in town” (Broadway World), Park performed a sold-out solo concert at Feinstein’s/54 Below in NYC. Park is an alumnus of NYU’s Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program and the BMI Lehman Engel Advanced Musical Theater Workshop, and is a member of the Dramatists Guild
