SHOUTS! LOVE & more to the talented Keke Palmer. Not only is she youngest person to have a talk show in TV history, but now she will be the first black Cinderella on The Great White Way!
Sept 9th, she will make her debut in the staring role in Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella at the Broadway Theatre.
"It's honestly one of those things that I can't believe is really happening," Palmer said by phone Friday from her Los Angeles home. "I'm very excited. Very excited and nervous as well — a bunch of feelings all at once."
Palmer, the former Nickelodeon child star best known for her roles in "Barbershop 2" and "Akeelah and the Bee," will be making her professional stage debut. The triple threat can act, dance and sing! Her albums include the 2007 CD "So Uncool" and a self-titled 2012 EP.
You may have recently remembered her as Chili in "CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story" She also appeared opposite Cicely Tyson and Vanessa Williams in Lifetime's "A Trip to Bountiful," which was nominated for an Emmy Award.

One of Palmer's heroines growing up was the singer and actress Brandy Norwood, who played Cinderella in a 1997 TV movie opposite Whitney Houston. "I feel like the reason I'm able to do this is definitely because Brandy did it on TV," Palmer said. "In me doing this, it shows everybody that everything is possible."
