When Stephanie Jae Park was first considering a career in music, the problem was never a lack of options. It was that she loved too many of them.
Opera captivated her. So did jazz, pop and R&B. She wanted to act. She wanted to dance. Choosing one path meant giving up another.
"So I chose musical theater," she said with a laugh. "I chose it out of my inability to choose one thing."
In August, Park will join the Broadway cast of "Six" as Catherine Parr, becoming the first East Asian performer officially cast in the role in a principal production of the hit musical. The high-octane pop concert reimagines the six wives of Henry VIII as modern-day divas, each reclaiming her own story.
