Carly Rae Jepsen to make Broadway debut in Cinderella
Carly Rae Jepsen is slated to make her Broadway debut in beloved musical Cinderella.
The Call Me Maybe hitmaker will trade in the concert stage for the Great White Way next year (14), as she steps into the iconic glass slippers for Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella.
The 28 year old, who underwent musical theatre training in her
native Canada, tells the New York Times the role is a dream come
true as she can relate to Cinderella's story, saying, "Cinderella's
story is so hopeful and inspiring. I've always been one to believe
in the impossible, so I relate to her character completely."
Jepsen will make her debut on 4 February (14) for a limited 12-week
run, replacing Tony Award nominee Laura Osnes in the lead role.
Also making her Broadway debut is former The Nanny star Fran
Drescher, who will play the role of the evil stepmother.
