Oo La La! Get a First Glimpse of Vanessa Hudgens in Broadway-Bound Musical Gigi

Pop the champagne, because People magazine has released an exclusive first look of Vanessa Hudgens in Gigi! The High School Musical favorite is taking on the title role in the Broadway-bound musical opposite Howard McGillin and Corey Cott at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. “I’ve been waiting for the right role to come along, and [Gigi] appeared to me when I was least expecting it,” Hudgens told People. “It’s been a lot of fun prepping for Gigi, allowing myself to be as free as possible. I love this character, the music and play so much.” The re-imagined new production, written by Heidi Thomas and directed by Eric Schaeffer, begins performances January 16, 2015.
