Vanessa Hudgens is making her Broadway debut in her role as Gigi in the musical of the same name, which is based on the much-loved 1958 film with Leslie Caron . The musical–based on the Colette novella–tells the story of a young girl in Paris, training to be a courtesan but craving true love instead. It will begin running first in Washington, D.C. from Jan. 16 to Feb. 12 before coming on up to the Greet White Way in 2015.
