"We've got a brand-new Broadway star on our hands! Keke Palmer, who's behind the BET talk show Just Keke and responsible for hits like \"Love You, Hate You\" and \"Dance Alone,\" is about to make her debut on the Great White Way.\n\nThe actress and singer announced the exciting news that she'll be filling Carly Rae Jepsen's shoes (er, glass slippers?) in Rodgers &amp;amp; Hammerstein's Cinderella this September, which is basically the best way imaginable to be stepping out on the big stage. And not only is Keke making personal history, but she's making history history, too: This is the first time Cinderella will be played by an African-American woman. Not bad for a 20-year-old.\n\n\"It's honestly one of those things that I can't believe is really happening,\" Keke said in a recent interview. \"I'm very excited. Very excited and nervous as well\u2014a bunch of feelings all at once. Theater offers so much more than I've been able to access doing film and TV and everything like that. I'm very excited to learn all that it has to offer\u2014that focus and that dedication to perform at a certain level every night.\"\n\nDo you think Keke is the perfect choice as Cinderella? Plan on seeing the show? Tell us in the comments below!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
