Carly Rae Jepsen will be telling Prince Charming to "call her maybe."
The pop star will make her Broadway debut February 4, taking over the title role in Rogers + Hammerstein's Cinderella. She'll replace Tony-nominee Laura Osnes, who originated the part in the well-received revival.
Jepsen, 28, has committed to a 12-week run, along with fellow Broadway newbie Fran Drescher, who will play Ella's stepmother Madame for 10 weeks.
Broadway has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl and I look forward to working with this incredibly talented cast to tell this classic tale,” Jepsen said in a press statement. “These last few years have been a real fairy tale come to life for me, so I feel especially blessed to play this part and be reminded that you must never stop dreaming!”
Rogers + Hammerstein's Cinderella is a retelling of the classic 1957 musical, featuring many of the familiar songs, four other tunes from the Rogers and Hammerstein catalogue, and a brand new book by Douglas Carter Beane. It premiered on Broadway in March 2013 and is expected to launch a national tour next year.
