You may remember Keke Palmer as the sweet-faced little girl from The Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and countless films like Akeelah and The Bee, but this little lady is all grown up and starring in Rodger’s and Hammerstein’s Cinderella on Broadway. Palmer though a veteran in film and television makes her Broadway debut as fairy tale princess Cinderella. At the tender age of 21 Keke has the surprising distinction of being the youngest actress to play the familiar character. Her trademark comedic timing and fresh persona add depth and freshness to the decades-old character. Palmer may be known for her acting but Keke is a woman of many talents, after years of watching her act I had no idea this young woman could sing! Her voice is absolutely beautiful. Ms. Palmer isn’t the only familiar face on the stage. Veteran television personality and comedienne Sherri Shepherd is also part of the cast as the evil but hilarious stepmother, “Madame”.  As the villain, the usually upbeat and fun Sherri is evil and cunning with a sharp tongue. Her cruelty knows no bounds as she takes great pleasure in tormenting the young dreamy-eyed Cinderella.
