Real Housewives of Atlanta Cast News: NeNe Leakes to Play Cinderella's Stepmother on Broadway
NeNe Leakes continues to book roles as an actress.
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star has landed a role as Cinderella's stepmother on Broadway, notes Indiewire.
Leakes will be making her Broadway debut. She will replace Sherri Shepherd and work alongside Keke Palmer. The Rodgers and Hammerstein version of "Cinderella" will end its run on Jan. 3, and Leakes will be on Broadway from Nov. 25 to the closing date.
On top of being on reality TV and soon on Broadway, Leakes has also been on "Glee" and "The New Normal."
Leakes shared the news of her new role on Twitter.
It's official! I am headed 2 BROADWAY CINDERELLA Nov 25th. Ain't God good 2 a little black girl from Athens Ga
Laura Osnes was the first to play Ella, the main character, in the play. Carly Rae Jepsen later played the part for four months. She starred with Fran Drescher.
Leakes' former co-star, Kim Zolciak Biermann, recently talked to Andy Cohen about what it was like leaving the show.
"I do miss laughing and getting out of the hose... I would do certain events," she said.
At the same time, she's glad not to be on the show, where she'd have to be in the same room as someone she was upset with.
Her leave has also improved her relationship with Leakes.
"NeNe and I are cool now," she added. "I was friends with her long before Housewives. I'm in a good place with her and that makes me feel better and happy."
Zolciak added that if Leakes wanted to, she could do the entire show by herself. She said that Leakes was just that funny.
The cast of the reality show posed for a picture during their trip to Puerto Rico.
All of the women wore dresses, but Leakes kept comfortable. She wore a hat, jean shorts and a T-shirt.
