Fresh off wowing Taiwan with the Disney Princess concert 'Princess All Stars in Concert,' Park Jin-joo is keeping the momentum going with a return to the stage in 'Maybe Happy Ending.'
Park has built a reputation as a bankable triple threat with standout turns in the musicals 'Maybe Happy Ending,' 'Ghost Bakery,' and 'Laika.' She recently drew praise for her relatable working-mom role in tvN’s 'My Daughter’s Friend’s Mom' (literal translation) and this fall she stepped onto the global stage as the sole Korean guest at Disney’s flagship Princess concert, earning raves from overseas fans for her sparkling vocals and poise.
At 'Princess All Stars in Concert,' Park delivered Disney princess favorites with her signature clear, luminous tone, crafting a set that lingered long after the final note.
Her solo on 'How Far I’ll Go' brought the house down in Taiwan, and she shared the stage with Broadway and West End standouts Isabelle McCalla, Lissa deGuzman, Olivia Donalson, Steffanie Leigh, Adam Jacobs, and Adam J. Levy on crowd-pleasers like 'Let It Go,' 'Into the Unknown,' and 'When You Wish Upon a Star'―a star-studded showcase in every sense.
After sold-out stops in Tainan on November 1?2 and Taipei on November 5, Park wrapped 'Princess All Stars in Concert' on a high note. Next up, she returns to home audiences with the 10th?anniversary production of 'Maybe Happy Ending' beginning November 7.
The musical―fresh off a six?trophy sweep at the 78th Tony Awards―marks a milestone in contemporary musical theater. Park leads the story as Claire, a helper-bot built to assist humans, a role she inhabited last season and reprises this year to rising anticipation.
Park Jin-joo takes her first curtain call for 'Maybe Happy Ending' at 8 p.m. on the 7th.
