Call her Cinderella! Singer Carly Rae Jepsen is set to make her Broadway debut this winter as the star of Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella, playing none other than the princess herself.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the 28-year-old singer (who is best known for her infectious 2012 hit "Call Me Maybe") has signed on for a 12-week run as the show's title character, Cinderella. Her three month run on New York City's most famous street will begin on Feb. 4, 2014.

"Broadway has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl and I look forward to working with this incredibly talented cast to tell this classic tale," Jepsen said in a press release to EW.

Jepsen also celebrated her major casting role on her official Instagram page. She posted a picture of the play's poster alongside the caption: "Soooo... I'm ready to spill my NYC secret. I am going to be playing Cinderella on Broadway starting Feb. 4th! Dream come true."

This will be Jepsen's first major acting role.

Jepsen isn't the only star signed on to the winter run of Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella. The Nanny star Fran Drescher has joined the cast as Cinderella's wicked stepmother Madam for a 10-week stint, which will also begin on Feb. 4.
