Pop star 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, as she steps into the iconic glass slippers for Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, reported New York Times.
The 28-year-old, who underwent musical theatre training in her native Canada, said that the role is a dream come true as she can relate to Cinderella's story.
"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," she said.
Jepsen will make her debut on February 4 next year 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.
