Carly Rae Jepsen felt "emotional" when she tried on Cinderella’s glass slippers for the first time.
The ‘Call Me Maybe’ hitmaker is taking the lead role in the rags-to-riches fairytale on New York’s Broadway and was thrilled the iconic footwear fitted her the first time she tried the shoes on.
Discussing wearing the shoes for the first time, she told MTV News: "It was surprisingly emotional. I think that it’s just such a classic tale and the shoes are so much a focal point to the whole thing and they were like, ‘What size are you?’ And I was just really happy that it actually fit. I was like it would be a bad omen if my first try, the size is off, but it did fit."
And the 28-year-old star – who makes her debut in the production tonight (04.02.14) – also admitted she is worried she won’t be able to keep her emotions in check during the scene where her character goes to the ball in a horse-drawn carriage.
She said: "Every single time this scene happens, I feel like balling like a baby. It’s so emotional, and she’s flying through the sky in the scene to get to the palace to meet Prince Charming. It’s every girl’s fantasy."
Despite her excitement, Carly admits she feels "intimidated" by the huge production, which is making its debut in the famous theatre district.
She said: "It’s a huge learning curve for me, but it’s intimidating in a lot of ways as well. It’s 24 hours and I sleep, I have dreams about Cinderella. Luckily, I have good people around me."
