"Obsessed!": The King and I's Ashley Park Talks Epic Fails, Then Hits Epic High Note

www.playbill.co... The King and I cast member Ashley Park joined Seth Rudetsky in the studio for the latest go 'round of "Obsessed!" Park demonstrated how she split her pants open (multiple times!) onstage at "Mamma Mia!" and how Ken Watanabe tore her wig off during a performances of "The King and I." Then, Park sings a "fixed" version of "My Lord and Master" - more mega-high notes, please!

I've said it before, and I'm going to say it as many times in as many places as I can until it happens, Ashley would make a fabulous Glinda in "Wicked". Not only does she have an amazing voice, but she can handle both the comedy and the warmth needed for the role.

[@demilovatofaith]

I can't handle that fact she's Korean!!!!non of us really make it on broadway!!!!

[@mehspacedorito]

demilovatofaith Same! Now she’s even bigger and I’m like YES!!

[@camsmith3944]

AH FELLOW KOREAN THEATER LOVERS!! Now she’s even more bigger with Mean Girls and Sunday In The With George.

[@Niqhtmusic]

[@bkwrm10]

I played Tuptim and it's such a great role. Ashley does it so well.

[@youtubepasserby8339]

I came here thinking it was London from Zack and Cody lol. I was like, "Wait, she can sing?! I NEED TO SEE THIS" 😂😂😂

[@tyradawkins1630]

KZbin Passerby Sorry NOT the same person. Brenda Song is the actress from Zach and Cody but I think she might sing a little!

[@KarolinaLoret]

She is awesome!!!!🤩

[@Analblockage]

She’s gorgeous. Saw king an I on broadway and I’ll be seeing her in mean girls next week.

[@johntlew]

Incredible high note end but still prefer original.

[@XiaLian_Wilson]

I think that was something Seth put in for the Lol's

[@samoneisdancing]

3 years later....

[@tlw1950]

I prefer the original "Lord and Master" ending.

[@musicaltheatrefan2k226]

I have never heard Colette Tatou sing like that

[@nachocheeselunchables]

AH GRETCHEN WEINERS

[@lucasvieira5054]

[@leahmoore6820]

That poor wig crew 😂

[@youtubepasserby8339]

[@flame246848]

KZbin Passerby she had vibrato throughout the whole song?

[@CrapBag]

not on the last note

[@christophergraham6571]

Crap Bag probably bc shes not use to doing it

[@jamiefresh5231]

I think Seth meant the EPIC FAIL was the EPIC HIGH NOTE... No support, no talent. Didn't garnish a BRAVA out of meeeee Hinnneyyyy

[@flame246848]

Jamie Fresh literally she’s on broadway and you’re where?

[@jamiefresh5231]

MEANLY ... btw Don't you have a second VLOG to make ? *sings* "First Blog first blog.... first first first BLOG"

[@flame246848]

No literally, she is a great singer and amazing on broadway. And you think you have the right to critique her? no absolutely not. Also, I am not embarrassed about a video I made when I was in Highschool. Literally so sad that you have negative things to say about a video I made as a kid. Like you have time to talk shit about a video a CHILD made. Literally you have no life...that's completely embarrassing.

[@jamiefresh5231]

2014 was 3 years ago bonbon! You've really grown up since then.... Bow voyage and have a nice fall..... Mae your afffffinity for her talentless screechin' bring nodes upon yo and yo household. Get back to the rose bowl you ugly carnation kat.

[@christophergraham6571]

Jamie Fresh shes in mean girls on broadway get over yourself

[@dsmproductionsofficial131]

She should have styled her own hair, this is the problem with the Youth of today and good that Ken stood up to her.

[@carolinerose8112]

Um...what? How would she style her own hair? everyone wears wigs onstage, it helps preserve the look. Real hair gets messed up too easily.
