Helen Park is a Tony Award–nominated composer, three-time Drama Desk nominee, recipient of the Lucille Lortel Award for Best Musical, and a Richard Rodgers Award winner. Her music has been described as “perversely addictive” (New York Times) and “infectious” (Hollywood Reporter).
Park wrote songs for Over the Moon, an Oscar-nominated Netflix Original Animated Feature musical film directed by Academy Award winner Glen Keane. She was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Original Score for the musical KPOP, making her the first Asian woman to be a composer and lyricist for a Broadway musical—and the first to be nominated for a Tony.
She is currently composing an upcoming Broadway musical adaptation of the hit movie Crazy Rich Asians, which will mark the Broadway debut of the film’s director, Jon Chu.
Park is also the executive music producer and songwriter of the British animated TV series Isadora Moon.
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. She is an alumnus of NYU’s Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program and the BMI Lehman Engel Advanced Musical Theater Workshop, and serves on the council of the Dramatists Guild.
