Emily in Paris star 'couldn't be prouder' of Lily Collins as she makes West End debut in Barcelona The Play
Performing on the West End is a ‘dream come true’ for Lily Collins, who is making her debut and her Emily in Paris co-star came along to support
Emily in Paris star Lily Collins has swapped the Louvre for the limelight as she takes to the stage in the West End adaptation of Barcelona.
Ashley Park said she ‘literally couldn’t be prouder’ of her Emily in Paris co-star in a sweet Instagram post this week.
Park, known for playing Mindy in the hit Netflix show, travelled to London to watch Collins star alongside Money Heist’s Alvaro Morte.
She said: “I truly, literally couldn’t be prouder [Lily Collins] to watch you soar and reach into your element in a way that you’ve always dreamed makes me so happy and inspired. Congrats to my dear [Bess Wohl] and all of the Barcelona team, making theatre magic, thanks for letting us experience it.”
Collins replied: “Thank you sister. Couldn’t love you more. Your support makes it all possible. Truly.”
The pair both shared a picture of them hugging outside the theatre, alongside a couple of behind-the-scenes and on-stage shots.
Barcelona, which is now showing at The Duke of York Theatre in London’s West End, has been described by What’s on Stage as ‘engrossing, enigmatic and heart-warming’.
Performing on the West End is a ‘dream come true’ for Collins, who plays an American tourist visiting the Catalan capital for a bachelorette party where she meets an older man (Morte) and ends up in his apartment.
This marks a bit of a homecoming for the now internationally known actress, who grew up not far from the capital in Guildford. She is the daughter of music legend Phil Collins.
