Hue Park
Hue Park (born Park Chun-hue; Korean: 박천휴) is a South Korean lyricist and musical theatre writer.
Park started working as an in-house lyricist for Music Cube while attending Dongguk University for creative writing (now merged with the Korean Literature program Archived 2014-07-08 at the Wayback Machine). He debuted as a lyricist with works such as Evan's Pain Reliever and Park Sang-min's Tough Life. He then moved to New York City to study visual art at New York University, where he met and collaborated with composer Will Aronson, thus beginning his career in musical theatre.
In July 2012, Park wrote lyrics for the Bungee Jump (music by Will Aronson). The show was successful, earning Aronson and Park considerable recognition. For the second production of Bungee Jump in 2013, Park collaborated with Aronson on adapting the script. He also adapted, translated, and wrote Korean lyrics for the musical Carmen, which opened at LG Art Center in December 2013. Park received the Best Music/Lyrics Award at Korea's 2013 Musical Awards for Bungee Jump. The musical was also named one of "the 2 Best Original Musicals of 2012" by The Musical magazine and was selected for re-production by the Korean Musical Association's original musical support program.
He went on to write the script and lyrics for The Schwarz Show: Christmas Radio within the omnibus musical I Hate Christmas in Project Box SEEYA.
In 2016, he translated and wrote Korean lyrics for The Bodyguard Musical, which also opened at LG Art Center.
In September 2015, Park and Aronson presented a try-out production of their new musical, Maybe Happy Ending, at Wooran Foundation. The musical had its official premiere in December 2016, produced by DaeMyoung Culture Factory. The show achieved remarkable success, winning six Korean Musical Awards, including accolades for Best Music, Lyrics, and Book. Additionally, the English-language version of Maybe Happy Ending received the prestigious 2017 Richard Rodgers Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Following its initial run, a new Korean production of the musical opened in 2018. In 2020, Maybe Happy Ending had its highly anticipated American premiere at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, running from January 18 to February 16.
The musical Il Tenore is co-produced, composed, and arranged by Park and Will Aronson. It is inspired by the life of Lee In-seon, a doctor and tenor who holds a significant place in Korean opera history.
