Vanessa Hudgens is finally coming to Broadway!
The High School Musical star has been singing and acting for years, but she’s finally found a project that’s perfect for her- Gigi!
The story of a young French girl preparing to become a courtesan has been a novel, an Audrey Hepburn play, and of course, a movie musical, and now it’s coming to the stage once again!
So why now, why this play? Vanessa has wanted to take this one on for quite a while! She said:
“My mom’s name is Gina, her nickname’s been Gigi. We have a dog named Gigi. Gigi is very prevalent in our lives.”
Ha! Amazing! Only, you guys named the dog after your mom? That’s gotta be ruff! LOLz!
Srsly, Vanessa isn’t just perfect for the role; the role is exactly what she wants! She says:
“I’ve never been so ecstatic about a project before. I genuinely feel like a child, beaming from ear-to-ear, being taken to Disneyland for the first time. It’s something that I actually feel I was born to do.”
And we were born to watch it! Can’t wait!
