Every little girl dreams about the gorgeous, sparkly ball gown, the horse and carriage, glass slippers, and of course the Prince!! KeKe Palmer is about to live out her dream on Broadway as the first African American Cinderella, ever.
Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!!!
Keep reading to see what she had to say about her feat...
Sidenote: I selfishly posted the picture above for this post because I adore that swimsuit.
Keke Palmer is through the roof about landing a gig on Broadway. You can hear it through her interview. Here's what she had to say...
"I am through the roof about this, girl. I cannot believe it. It's crazy! It's crazy because I always thought at some point I'd be able to attempt Broadway, so when I got this opportunity and I ended up getting it… are you kidding? It's crazy. The thing about Broadway that excites me is performing every night and not knowing who's going to be out there. I don't know who I might see — I might see Denzel [Washington], I might see Oprah Winfrey, I might see Meryl Streep. That's the exciting thing about it. And I get to live out my dream every night, performing on stage, acting and singing, and it's so much energy pumping in the room and so much adrenaline.
"I'm the type of person that likes to push myself, but talk about discipline — I'm about to go there to start rehearsals, and this is going to be strict. I know they have vocal regimens to help your vocals stay right… I'm the type of person who likes having that kind of order. But I'm really just excited to be pushed to be at the top of my game."
"Yes, I'm the first black Cinderella. I will be the first black Cinderella to ever be on Broadway. It's so amazing. I don't think it's a fully black cast though — I know they're thinking about some other African American actors for the stepmother, so there'll be another black person in the cast, but no, it's not a Wiz-ification. This is the same one that Carly Rae Jepsen just did, same director, just new Cinderella and probably new stepmother."
This has been a pretty busy year for Keke. For starters, she's on Masters of Sex as Coral on Showtime and starred in her own talk show on BET, Just Keke. Her first broadway show debuts the second week in September. She's such a mature young woman for her age, i'm positive everything is up hill from here for her!!
Good luck!
