Broadway's Cinderella has been all of the rage recently. Previously, Carly Rae Jepsen (Call Me Maybe Artist) starred as Cinderella in the hit musical. The Broadway smash has been wildly popular and has ticket sales soaring at an all time high.

"This is UNBELIEVABLE." Keke tells interviewers about the recent casting. You may remember Keke Palmer from her unforgettable roles such as Akeelah (Akeelah and the Bee), Izzy Daniels (Jump In!), True Jackson (True Jackson VIP), etc. Everyone is talking about Keke's placement as Cinderella. "For me, coming from film and TV, and also being the first African American to play it on Broadway… It never occurred to me, and I have to find myself taking a moment in and i want to do my very best." Palmer says. Well said, Keke!

Sherri Shepherd is also excited to play the role of Madame. "Eight shows a week? Uh-uh!! How am I supposed to do that?" Shepherd jokes to interviewers. "Sherri will be a delightful addition to the cast. She keeps us on our toes and laughing." says the show's writer. (http://www.broadway.com) Shepherd is most well known for her TV show, The View. Audiences are pumped to see Shepherd perform. Interviewers from www.BroadwayInterviews.com, asked Sherri Shepherd what she thinks about having Keke being the first black Cinderella. Shepherd responded, "You have little brown boys and girls who will look up and see her and realize that the impossible is possible! I think that little chocolate boys and girls are just going to LOVE her! My son already has a little crush on Keke!"
